Oxford+ podcast: David Mott

Posted on 17 May 2025

Why do so few of Oxford's major donors invest in the startups emerging from the very labs they support?

In this episode of Oxford+, David Mott, Founder Partner at Oxford Capital, explores the disconnect between Oxford's philanthropic capital and its venture-backed companies. From scaling spinouts like Latent Logic and Moneybox to pioneering the UK's first EIS fund, David shares the strategies behind aligning investors and founders for long-term success.

He also sheds light on the role of patient capital, the surprising data on co-founder dynamics, and why simplicity in deal structures is more powerful than cleverness.
