The Barclays Demo Directory is an innovative platform designed to bridge the gap between ambitious founders and potential investors. It provides a streamlined and efficient way for startups to showcase their businesses and connect with a curated network of investors. Founders can present their business ideas through detailed profiles, video pitches, and other materials, making it easier for investors to understand their vision and potential.
Investors benefit from the ability to filter opportunities based on specific criteria such as company size, stage, and industry. This targeted approach helps investors find businesses that align with their investment strategies and interests.
The platform also hosts Demo Days, which are special events where founders can pitch their businesses live to an audience of investors, further enhancing their visibility and chances of securing funding.
Open to UK businesses regardless of their banking affiliation with Barclays, the Demo Directory aims to democratise access to capital and support the growth of innovative startups. By fostering these connections, Barclays helps drive entrepreneurial success and contributes to a vibrant business ecosystem.
