First of all, the reason Simudyne decided to work with Barclays was the impeccable reputation of the accelerator as the top FinTech institution of its kind. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cBarclays does a great job introducing you into the company and helping you secure an enterprise deal, which is normally one of the most challenging steps for an early stage FinTech company. Barclays are committed to working with startups and were great partners to us\u201d, says Jonathan.<\/p>\n<p>Among the most important perks of participating in the program, he mentions access to great networking opportunities as well as prompt and accurate feedback regarding the product, including advice on how to make it \u201centerprise ready\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>The biggest milestone Simudyne has achieved thanks to the program was landing their first enterprise contract. Jonathan mentions that the accelerator helped them get in front of the top venture capitalists.\nWe also asked Jonathan what would be one key thing he would recommend to other startups that want to take part in the program. His advice is to have a live product that is ready to sell or test. Barclays can help you accelerate its adoption, but you need it in the first place.<\/p>\n<p><i>What to expect: Up to \u00a3120,000 for 6 percent equity.<\/i><\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ThinkRiseLDN\">Follow Rise on Twitter<\/a><\/p>\n<li><b> Fintech Innovation Lab<\/b><\/li>\n<p><i>Where? <\/i><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bing.com\/maps?where=Accenture%20%2C%20London%2C%20London%20EC3M%203BD%2C%20GB\">Accenture, London, London EC3M 3BD<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.fintechinnovationlab.com\/london\/london-fintech-innovation-lab\/\">FinTech Innovation Lab London <\/a>has been an annual accelerator program started and conducted by Accenture since 2012.

Aspiring entrepreneurs can get not only access to financial assets of the organization, but also go through 5 stages of the Venture Builder. It starts with initial incubation, where experts assess and test the new enterprise\u2019s model for up to 6 months. During this time, Blenheim Chalcot and its finance team work with the business owners to prepare the startup for closer contacts with appropriate investors. Later on, the following 4 stages can take up to 3 years, which makes this FinTech accelerator one of the longest on the market. Being this long, however, makes it a very stable and safe environment to grow your business.<\/p>\n<p>Obviously, Blenheim Chalcot\u2019s Venture Building Services and Investment Support include help at all aspects of starting a company, such as marketing, accounting, taxes, training, networking, etc. Unfortunately, it\u2019s also a very exclusive club, where only 2-3 ideas are grown each year.
