Idea-stage innovators graduate Product Builder Programme, making room for more founders to validate solutions

The third edition of our Product Builder Programme, which is powered by Barclays Eagle Labs, funded by the UK government and delivered by Plexal, has concluded with an event for 11 high-potential startups selected from a cohort of over 100.

Over the course of two days, we’ve hosted the new businesses at the Product Builder Bootcamp in our Plexal Stratford workspace on the Here East campus on the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park.  

The founders who were present participated in product demonstrations, action planning, experimentation and more, while also connecting with one another socially over dinner and drinks.

The 11 companies selected for the Product Builder Bootcamp included:

Chekeat provides personalised food recommendations for individuals with dietary and medical restrictions. 
 
Habeo is a green energy marketplace and platform helping households transition to renewable energy solutions. 
 
Huntbase helps security teams streamline threat investigation and response. 
 
Itoms is an AI-powered wardrobe builder that connects past purchases across retailers to recommend personalised fashion items. 
 
Keypin bridges offline and online marketing by turning physical touchpoints into trackable digital assets with custom QR codes and real-time analytics.

And with the Product Builder Bootcamp concluded, that brings the third edition of the programme to a close.
