Profil

Philippa is the Social Venture Lead at Oxford University Innovation (OUI).
Since 2015, she has worked with researchers across the University of Oxford to help them create impact with their ideas outside of the University ecosystem.
Whilst her focus to date was in the health space, Philippa has worked on spinout companies from all four divisions of the University.
Philippa has a passion for social ventures, companies that put purpose before profit, and leads the team offering support to create these entities from the University.
Along with Sarah Deakin, and in partnership with the Development Office, Sarah and Philippa run OxReach, the crowdfunding platform for social good projects from the University of Oxford.
They have supported six successful campaigns, raising over £300,000 in total for the projects which have all benefitted substantially from the public support that they received and are now creating local and international impact.
Greater Change was the first crowdfunded project to incorporate as a social enterprise.
It enables the public to donate to help a homeless person achieve long-term goals to leave homelessness behind.
Since 2019, Greater Change has supported over 200 people out of homelessness.
Philippa has expertise in developing early stage ideas into business propositions, which includes IP analysis, market analysis, business planning, CE marking and regulatory issues, advice on app development and licensing IP.
Her background in Physics and Bionanotechnology enable her to work on multi-disciplinary projects.
