We're bringing the 10 most ambitious Oxbridge founders to Silicon Valley for one week.
Meet the founders who built the companies changing the world, the investors who backed them early, and the operators who scaled them. Every session is private, small-group or 1:1. Walk into the offices most founders only read about, hear how the biggest companies actually got started, and get honest feedback on what you're building from people who've done it.
This is the access that normally takes years of living in the Valley to build. We've done the work to open the doors. You just have to walk through them.

Oxford and Cambridge produce some of the strongest technical founders in the world. But the ecosystem that scales them is over 5,000 miles away. Most Oxbridge founders never set foot in Silicon Valley until it's too late, or until they've already made the mistakes that a single week there could have prevented.
BridgeFellows exists to close that gap. We're building the permanent bridge between Oxbridge and Silicon Valley so that the best founders from these universities have the same access, networks, and entrepreneurial mindset as someone who grew up in Palo Alto, California.
The Immersion is where it starts.
DeepMind. Cohere. Darktrace. Three of the most significant AI companies to come out of Oxbridge. Each founder, at a critical early moment, engaged directly with Silicon Valley. That access changed what they built and how fast they built it.
