Industry Leading FinTech Accelerator is Back
Sep 09, 2019
After an extensive selection process, we are pleased to announce that nine phenomenal companies are joining the 2019 Barclays Accelerator, powered by Techstars in New York.
Taking place in the heart of New York City, the program was created by Techstars and Barclays and allows us to pursue a shared goal of supporting entrepreneurs inventing the next generation of financial services. Together, we’ve built a model that reimagines corporate innovation and has resulted in tremendous value for Barclays and our 160+ FinTech portfolio companies. The bottom line is this: Since being established in 2014, the program has become one of the industry’s leading FinTech Accelerator programs, which is supported by the collective value of our alumni companies that has now reached over $1 billion to date.
Opportunities to invest in FinTech have never been greater, and I couldn’t imagine a more ideal partner than Barclays to run this program. Together with Mariquit Corcoran, Managing Director, Group Innovation at Barclays, we’re thrilled to welcome these nine companies to our program, and look forward to working with them to accelerate their businesses over the next 13 weeks. Mariquit notes, “This year’s New York class spans across a diverse and exciting set of sectors addressing challenges faced by the financial services industry including accounting, lending, travel, payments, data and analytics, personal finance and savings, and wealth management.”
