Good processes lead to good outcomes. We started our recruitment process for this year’s 2020 London Barclays Accelerator, powered by Techstars, programme this past summer. We sourced across more continents, and at a lower carbon footprint (through more video calls), than ever before. We are thrilled with the 10 companies selected to join us for the 2020 London programme, which will be based out of Rise London.
This incoming class is diverse across geographies, sectors and end markets and 40% of our founders are females. The participating companies span Data Science, Gig Economy, Enterprise Software, Asset Finance, SME Finance, PropTech, InsurTech and Consumer Protection.
With our longstanding partner, Barclays, we are privileged to offer our 2020 London class transformative mentorship and the resources they need to #DoMoreFaster and accelerate their businesses over the coming months.
Techstars’ mentorship driven programmes have helped build thousands of successful companies across the globe. Our portfolio of over 1,900 alumni companies across the world is now valued at more than $25 billion. Through our seven years of partnership in London, Barclays and Techstars have together had the opportunity to support the growth of companies such as Cuvva, Everledger, Flux, Simudyne and Shieldpay,among other successful alumni, that have benefited from our two powerful global networks.
I am thankful to our mentors, global partners, sponsors, and alumni for their time and generous support of our programme, and look forward to working with them as we launch this incoming class.
We will showcase these startup companies at our Demo Day event at the Guildhall in London on 21 April 2020. Please reach out if you would like to connect with any of these companies during their time with the 2020 London Barclays Accelerator, powered by Techstars, programme.
