History
The Gateway was conceived by three Oxford University students, Mawuli Ladzekpo (Exeter College), Max Lewis (Pembroke College) and Chris Wilkinson (Lincoln College) in the summer of 2007. The trio aimed to fill the apparent niche for a publication that combined business and financial news with independent careers advice, and sought to take advantage of the growing graduate recruitment marketing industry that centered around Oxbridge. The first issue of The Gateway was released on October 8th 2007 with a circulation of 6,000 at Oxford University.
In November of 2007, The Gateway received commercial backing when the London based boutique recruitment consultancy, OxbridgeGroup, bought a stake in Career Gateways Limited. This injection of capital allowed for an increased distribution of The Gateway to include an additional fourteen universities in the United Kingdom. It also resulted in The Gateway shedding its student workforce recruited by its founders, to be replaced with a team of full-time staff based at The Gateway's headquarters in the London Docklands. The company remained managed, in part, by its student founders.
The Gateway is currently published independently from headquarters in central London.

“Don’t you realize that this is a new empire? Why, folks, there’s never been anything like this since creation. Creation, huh, that took six days, this was done in one. History made in an hour. Why it’s a miracle out of the Old Testament!”
—Howard Estabrook (1884–1978)
“Considered in its entirety, psychoanalysis won’t do. It’s an end product, moreover, like a dinosaur or a zeppelin; no better theory can ever be erected on its ruins, which will remain for ever one of the saddest and strangest of all landmarks in the history of twentieth-century thought.”
—Peter B. Medawar (1915–1987)
