Barclays announced the 2019 London Barclays Accelerator, powered by Techstars class. The participating companies will work closely with a team of Barclays executives, the Techstars worldwide network and other industry leaders to further expand their business models and develop innovations. Participating companies will also be eligible for recently launched Rise Growth Investments, new investment capital solely focused on the companies accepted into the Barclays Accelerator programme. The funds will allow Barclays to invest up to £10m per Accelerator class.

The ten companies of the 2019 London class of the Barclays Accelerator, powered by Techstars, are:

  • Block Aviation: Block Aviation’s aircraft asset management software is creating a shared information platform to be used across the aviation ecosystem, reducing the cost of redelivery and facilitating efficient novations of aircraft leases.

  • Photocert: Photocert’s software solution establishes and certifies the validity of visual evidence allowing businesses like general insurance, on-demand asset rentals and document certification to operate with efficiency and security, reducing incidents of fraud and misinformation.
