  Enroll in Course

This is a 10-week programme based on the Dream Design Surf method created by Marcelo Bravo, an approach to design new ventures for rapid growth, lower risk and global impact.

The Dream Design Surf programme helps entrepreneurs move from idea to fundable proposition through a structured approach based on the Dream Design Surf principles.

The 10-week programme follows the outline of the Dream Design Surf book:

  • Dream - establishing your ambition, vision and mission
  • Design – work on the five key design principles that lay the foundations for a new business that can scale rapidly with lower risk
  • Surf – Put it all together on your pitch deck and establish your action plan, criteria and milestones to quickly build a fundable or self-funding business proposition

Marcelo Bravo

I am UK based entrepreneur, founder and CEO of Oxford Pharmascience a specialty consumer healthcare company. I have founded or co-founded four companies since I immigrated to the UK 19 years ago. I have taken two of these companies public in the past four years raising over £40m in funding from both institutional and private investors. One of my companies went into administration. The lessons from my successes and, more importantly, from my many failures, have shaped my approach to business and led to the development of the Dream Design Surf method.
