Fasttrack to Funding

Barclays Eagle Labs and Oxford University Innovation are co-hosting an interactive workshop at Buxton Court for early-stage founders looking to test and strengthen their ideas.
The afternoon will bring together founders, investors, and experienced startup experts for a series of practical feedback sessions designed to help participants refine their thinking, challenge assumptions, and explore the potential of their ventures in a supportive environment.
The event is open to founders at the idea or very early-stage phase, with space for approximately 15-20 participants.


What to expect:
•    Constructive feedback from friendly investors and innovation experts 
•    Opportunities to test and develop early-stage ideas 
•    Peer discussion and networking with fellow founders 
•    Discussions around funding, growth, and investment readiness 
•    Informal networking over refreshments


Whether developing a new concept or exploring the next steps for an existing idea, the workshop offers a valuable opportunity to gain external perspectives and actionable feedback.
Spaces are limited and registration is required.
