Over the past year, our work with Barclays Eagle Labs has led to the launch of two initiatives:
- Product Builder Programme, which is designed to take new entrepreneurs from idea to MVP in eight weeks.
- Scaleup Programme, which is designed to support scaleups as they navigate their rapid growth trajectory.
Closing the gap between the two, we’re delighted to reveal the cohort entering Product Growth Programme, which is powered by Barclays Eagle Labs, funded by UK Government and delivered by Plexal.
Our Product Growth Programme will support startups with innovative digital products and technologies in their pursuit of product-market fit. The programme is delivered online and teaches founders how to manage funding runway, access and implement a go-to-market strategy and build a team to accelerate development.
