Join the Scaleup Programme to explore the three key pillars of scaling alongside lived founder experience

The Barclay’s Eagle Labs Scaleup Programme, powered by Plexal, is back. If you’re hoping to scale fast, but in need of support to navigate some of the biggest growth challenges, then this programme could be for you. Through expert-led workshops, one to one support, peer learning, and tailored connections, the programme can help take your scaleup to the next level.

Programme structure

The Scaleup Programme is built around the real-life challenges that fast-growth companies face. Over three-months, you will explore three key pillars of scaling:

  1. Leadership and management
  2. Product, sales and marketing
  3. Finance and fundraising

Each month focuses on one pillar, combining curated content with lived founder experience. You’ll benefit from:

  • Hands on , expert-led workshops
  • Curated masterclasses and online resources
  • One-to-one and group coaching
  • Connections with corporates, customers, and ecosystem leaders
  • Access to a community of like-minded founders.

All designed to reflect the pace and pressure of scaleup life, while giving you the tools to thrive.
