Unlocking Capital: Investors’ Reverse Pitch
Join Oxford Entrepreneurs Network and Borski Fund for a unique reverse pitch event where leading investors take the stage to present their investment theses, and what they’re looking for in founders. Instead of founders pitching for capital, investors pitch to entrepreneurs — giving female founders and diverse teams valuable insight into how to access funding and build relationships with VCs and angels.
Our event brings together a diverse group of investors spanning angels, syndicates, seed and Series A VCs, and accelerators—all with a shared focus on backing female and underrepresented founders across industries. From those supporting early-stage tech ventures to those scaling impact-driven businesses, attendees can expect a unique mix of experience, insight, and actionable guidance.
Reverse pitchers present and ready to meet you over networking include Alma Angels, Daring Capital, Sie ventures, Cornerstone VC, Borski fund, and Scale X Investments - with a couple more to be announced! Dont miss this opportunity to meet these incredible investors!
This event is organised by Oxford Entrepreneurs Network together with Borski Fund.
Womble Bond Dickenson is kindly sponsoring this event.
The pitches will start shortly after 6pm, with opportunities for Q&A as well as networking both before and after. There will be a selection of wine, soft drinks and small snacks.
Please arrive no later than 6pm or admittance may not be granted until after the pitches have finished. Our capacity for this event is 50 and we will operate a waitlist so please only register if you plan to attend.

Borski fund was founded based on the conviction that the investment diversity gap is real and much larger than is often thought, however that there are also ways to help close it. The fund is named after Johanna Borski. Johanna Borski was a female investor and role model to many female entrepreneurs. An investment from Borski goes beyond just providing money. Our strength lies in combining market knowledge, an expansive network, a strong entrepreneurial track record and investment experience. This means that Borski stays involved actively after providing financing. Submit your pitch deck at: https://borskifund.com/?lang=en
