Memorable events over the past ten years continued – Inspired by past Silicon Valley Comes to Oxford events, two Oxford students founded Auctomatic, a company which sold for $5M in 2008. In 2010, we have another success…drum roll please… Plink art, a company founded by two Oxford University Engineering PhDs and based in the Oxford Entrepreneurs Incubation space within Keble College. Plink art is to be the first British acquisition by Google, prior to this offer, the Oxford-founded company won $100,000 in the Google android competition.
