Applications have opened for startups to apply to Barclays’ new accelerator scheme.
Barclays Accelerator is managed by Techstars, the world’s leading startup accelerator with a 90% funding success rate.
The three-month bootcamp-style programme launched in December last year and specifically targets fintech startups – a first for international accelerator Techstars.
It follows the launch of Techstars London in Warner Yard earlier this year, the first step outside the US for the accelerator.

- Support in digital, design, marketing and other key areas
