Barclays Demo Directory is an online platform that allows ambitious founders looking to raise equity to create a demo of their business that potential UK investors can search and browse.
Our Demo Directory aims to;
- Support businesses with the challenge of raising capital and connecting to investors.
- Enable founders to talk about their business, by completing ‘elevator pitch’, character limited questions.
- Help make the current funding process more efficient for founders and investors.
Barclays Demo Directory provides founders access to a national network of investors. Investors can view and bookmark founder demos and use the filter options to look for businesses that align with their specific interests such as location, industry sector, capital sought and more.
Barclays Demo Directory is free to access and available to anyone regardless of whether you have a relationship with Barclays. Founders looking to demo only need to have a UK entity and be investor ready, while investors must be UK based or have an UK investment vehicle. All investors will be required to attest to their investor status for the purposes of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (Financial Promotion) Order 2005 (SI 2005/1529).
