About this Event
Event Photos

Invent Your Entrepreneurial Self is an in-person pre-launch event celebrating Katy Tuncer's new business fiction book HUMANUP - due for release in 2027.
Who is this for?

An event for founders in the thick of it. For entrepreneurial people. For anyone interested in university innovation. And for everyone who cares about the future of human agency.


What’s this event about?

Work as we know it is falling over. Employment, institutions and corporations are all being rewritten, and over the next 50 years, entrepreneurism will become the foundation of human leadership.

So what will you build? A new venture? A bolder way of working inside an organisation that must change or die? Or, as a parent, teacher, professor or leader, shape a world where the next generation of entrepreneurs can thrive?

At Oxford North on 3rd December Katy will share insights from her new book, HUMANUP, and sign Advance Reader Copies.

Katy’s research points to the real unlock for entrepreneurial success: mindset. With the overwhelming temptation to hand decisions over to AI, we must overcome dated societal norms and dysfunctional mindsets, and hang on to human autonomy. Join like-minded guests for a guided exploration of what works, and what doesn’t, in the UK’s innovation hubs.


What’s on
  • Keynote by Katy
  • Panel: tips and stories from today’s Oxford entrepreneurs
  • Signing of Advance Reader Copies of HUMANUP

The humans behind HUMANUP

Katy Tuncer, embedded in both the Oxford and Cambridge innovation ecosystems, has coached hundreds of entrepreneurs, and is one herself. She wrote HUMANUP to share lessons on a real founder’s journey, told as a story.

Along with HUMANUP's Book Tour Partners law firm Mills and Reeve - the fastest-growing law firm in Oxford, we are on a mission to create and appreciate entrepreneurs. Together we are helping them to be understood and supported more widely by society.


Why come to Oxford North on 3rd Dec?

Come along and find out what I’ve written about in HUMANUP, and why.

Bring your ambition, an open mind, and a collaborative sprirt.

We will have some fun inventing or reinventing our own best entrepreneurial selves, and be ready for the future. You will be very welcome!

Yours in innovation, Katy
