    For parents

    Everything you need to know.

    YEP welcomes all aspiring young people aged 15 to 18 who are eager to succeed, regardless of background or prior experience. We look for ambition, intellectual curiosity, and a genuine interest in entrepreneurship, not grades.
    YEP provides an inclusive entrepreneurial environment. Sessions are led by instructors, including entrepreneurs, investors, leading academics, and industry experts, who act as facilitators rather than lecturers, so there is no passive learning. Your child starts working alongside them from day one and builds from there.
    YEP 2027 costs £6,999. This covers the full residential programme, all faculty sessions, materials, certification, and accommodation.
    Yes. Accommodation at one of Oxford University's colleges (or a similar Oxford venue), all meals, and all programme activities are included in the fee. Participants arrange their own travel to and from Oxford.
    YEP provides a certificate, a project portfolio, and a letter of participation, all credible additions to a university application or personal statement. Top performers may also receive internship recommendations. Above all, YEP is about building capability. We make real experience the primary curriculum, rather than passive lectures.
    No prior business or entrepreneurship experience is required. YEP is designed from the ground up for students who are curious and ambitious, whether or not they have ever thought about business before.
    Cohorts are deliberately small to maintain the quality of mentorship and faculty engagement. Places are limited, and applications are reviewed and allocated on a first-come, first-reviewed basis.
    Faculty come from leading institutions such as Oxford's Saïd Business School, Harvard University, and Microsoft, as well as serial entrepreneurs and investors. Every session is live, never pre-recorded, and faculty engage directly with your child's projects.

    Build the venture and the founder -
    behind your UK Innovator Founder Visa.

    The UK Innovator Founder Visa is a government scheme that allows international founders to live and build a business in the United Kingdom - endorsed by an approved body. Most founders approaching it have a business idea. What they do not yet have is the venture rigour, strategic fluency, and founder capability that endorsing bodies are actually looking for. The Innovator Founder Programme is an eight-week Oxford-based programme that closes that gap.

    The Innovator Founder Programme - why it exists

    The three tests every Innovator Founder Visa application must pass

    The UK Innovator Founder Visa - a government route that allows international entrepreneurs to live and build a business in the UK - is assessed against three published criteria: Innovation, Viability, and Scalability. Endorsing bodies (UK government-approved organisations that assess whether your business qualifies for the visa) review every submission against those three criteria - then pressure-test them in a live interview.

    Most applications fall short not because the founder lacks ambition, but because the submission does not demonstrate all three criteria coherently, and the founder cannot defend the business under challenge.

    "The endorsing body is not reviewing your plan. They are assessing whether you are the kind of founder who can build and scale a genuinely innovative UK business."
    What document services give you
    A professionally formatted plan. But when the assessor asks how the business meets Innovation, Viability, and Scalability - and how you arrived at the numbers - the founder who did not build it will not have a convincing answer.
    What online courses give you
    Generic entrepreneurship content with no IFV context, no community, no in-person delivery, and no connection to the three endorsement criteria your application will be judged against.
    What the Innovator Founder Programme gives you
    Eight weeks built around the three endorsement criteria - so the business, the submission pack, and the founder all stand up under scrutiny. The programme ends with a complete, endorsement-ready application and a verified track record of founder capability.

    Weeks 1–3 · Innovation

    • A complete submission pack: business plan, financial model, questionnaire responses
    • A Dragons' Den-style pitch presented to a live investor panel
    • A mock endorsement interview with individual debrief and remediation
    • Final presentations assessed against Innovation, Viability, and Scalability
    • Oxford in-person final day - Week 8

    The methodology

    How the programme works - learning by doing.

    Most entrepreneur programmes deliver content. The information is everywhere. What content cannot give you is the experience of applying it under pressure - building something in real time and defending it in front of people who will tell you where it breaks.

    The Innovator Founder Programme runs on the same simulation-based, experiential methodology that has defined Infinitum's Entrepreneurship Bootcamp - praised consistently by participants and faculty. Applied to adult founders, with everything mapped to the IFV endorsement criteria.

    Programme culmination

    Week 8: The Pitch Competition

    Present your venture in Oxford - in a Dragons' Den-style pitch competition, before a live panel of investors and experts, with questions you cannot prepare a script for.

    What you demonstrate
    A fully-built venture with financial projections, market analysis, and a scalability plan you own and can defend.
    Who is in the room
    Investors, endorsing body contacts, faculty, and peers. The same level of challenge you will face in the real endorsement interview.
    What this produces
    An endorsed-quality submission pack and a founder who has been tested under live scrutiny.
    IFP - Endorsement readiness

    What endorsing bodies actually assess.

    The Innovator Founder Visa has three endorsement criteria. Every session in the Innovator Founder Programme maps to one or more of them. By Week 8, founders have a verified, evidenced, presentable case against all three.

    1
    Innovation
    Your business must be genuinely innovative - not derivative of existing products. Endorsing bodies look for a defensible innovation claim with commercial differentiation.
    IFP Phase 1 builds and evidences this claim.
    2
    Viability
    Your business must be financially viable with a credible market opportunity, realistic projections, and a founder who understands the numbers.
    IFP Phase 2 builds the financial model and investment thesis.
    3
    Scalability
    Your business must have the potential to scale and create jobs in the UK. Endorsing bodies assess whether the architecture supports growth.
    IFP Phases 2 and 3 build and validate the scalability case.

    Endorsed by

    To qualify for the Innovator Founder Visa, your business must be assessed by one of these UK government-approved endorsing bodies.

    Transparent pricing. No equity. No conditions.

    Two tiers. Both include the full Innovator Founder Programme. The Founding Cohort rate reflects the conviction of being one of five founders who build this programme from the ground up.

    The Innovator Founder Visa opens a 3-year pathway into the UK economy and a route to settlement. The Innovator Founder Programme ensures you arrive with a business you have built, a pitch you can defend, and a founder capability that endorsing bodies can assess with confidence.
    No equity - Infinitum takes no ownership stake in your business. The only financial arrangement is the programme fee itself. No retainer, no hidden fees. Payment plans available, typically across two stages.

    The process is selective, not transactional.

    The Innovator Founder Programme is not a course you purchase - it is a programme you apply for. The founding cohort is limited to 5 founders. Places are allocated through a selective four-step process. Not every enquiry proceeds to a full application - we choose our cohorts carefully.
