About Oxford Flow
Originally founded by Professor Thomas Povey in 2015, Oxford Flow is a spin-out of the Oxford Thermofluids Institute at the University of Oxford that is primed for rapid growth. Oxford Flow is an engineering-led, technology company which has revolutionized valve design with a range of unique products. The company’s technology helps address some of the challenges faced by the energy sector including improving valve reliability, reducing maintenance costs, and minimizing fugitive emissions, a core challenge facing major players across the oil & gas industry. Oxford Flow recently closed a $25 million, Series C funding round that was co-led by bp Ventures and Energy Impact Partners (EIP), both of which have placed high priority on reducing fugitive emissions as they seek to accelerate the world’s energy transition.
