Skoll Invest Fest – Saturday 9th November

Please join us for the Skoll Invest Fest! A fast paced, collaborative, hackathon event on Sunday 3rd November and Saturday 9th November. These are two separate events; you can attend a single event or both. Please sign up to each Eventbrite separately. The Skoll Centre for Social Entrepreneurship has partnered with Chivas Venture for the last 5 years to make the Chivas Venture one of the most prominent social entrepreneurship competitions globally, with finalists impacting over 2 million lives in over 50 countries. This year we have expanded this programme to include Oxford MBA students who are looking to develop skills and experience in impact investing and due diligence. Form part of a select team of MBA students and alumni that will participate in a hackathon event, analysing current social businesses from 25 countries. During each day you will work in pairs and groups to analyse between 10 – 15 social businesses each. You will gain valuable first-hand experience and delve into the nuances of social business due diligence. Finalists from each country will present at the Chivas global final event in June 2020. Come along if you want to: -       have a hands-on experience and analyse current social businesses. -       learn more about the early stage due diligence process and how social business competitions feed into the impact investment ecosystem. -       understand impact investment due diligence from the ‘investors perspective’. -       help choose who gets the opportunity to pitch for up to $1m of funding. Who is this for? This event is an experiential learning opportunity for Saïd Business School, MBA 19 – 20 candidates, attendees of the Impact Investment Bootcamp and MBA alumni only.
