REBL Sessions: Oxford Edition — The Founders' Table
Start 2027 in the right room.
We're bringing REBL Sessions to Oxford.
An intimate, carefully curated dinner bringing together twelve ambitious female startup founders building businesses with the potential to scale.
A new year brings new ambitions, new challenges and new opportunities. But the people you surround yourself with can make all the difference to what happens next.
At REBL, we believe you shouldn't have to live in London, New York or San Francisco to find your people. We're building the network we wished existed when we started — one where founders can share what they're working on, challenge each other's thinking, find collaborators and help one another move forward.
Because the right network doesn't happen by accident.
Every REBL Sessions table is intentionally curated to bring together female founders who share the ambition to build and scale something meaningful, while bringing different experiences, perspectives and ideas to the conversation.
For our Oxford Edition, we're bringing together just twelve female founders around one table at Branca in Jericho, over a three-course Mediterranean-inspired dinner and honest conversation.
Whether you're validating an ambitious idea, preparing to launch, finding your first customers, raising capital or scaling your startup, this is a space to connect with women who understand what it means to build something from the ground up.
No panels. No pitches. No awkward networking.
Just good food, honest conversations and meaningful connections with founders who are as ambitious about what they're building as you are.

Who's it for?
Female founders actively building ambitious, scalable startups — from early-stage and pre-seed ventures through to businesses gaining traction, raising investment and preparing to scale.
This isn't a general business networking event.
We're bringing together women who are serious about what they're building, ambitious about where they're going and open to helping other founders move forward.
You don't need to have raised funding or have everything figured out. Just the ambition to build something bigger, a willingness to share what you're learning and an openness to supporting others along the way.
Why we curate the room
Your network is your unfair advantage — but only when you're in the right room.
We keep REBL Sessions intentionally small and thoughtfully review every application to bring together a complementary mix of founders.
We're not interested in filling a room for the sake of it.
We're interested in creating the kind of room where the right conversation can lead to a new perspective, an introduction, a collaboration or an opportunity you wouldn't have found otherwise.
Places are limited, and submitting an application doesn't guarantee a seat at the table.
Bring REBL Sessions to your city
We're building REBL Sessions across the UK and beyond, connecting ambitious female founders wherever they're building from.
If you're a female founder interested in hosting a Founders' Table in your own city, we'd love to hear from you.
Reach out to liisa@reblventures.co.
You shouldn't have to build alone.
See you around the table.
