Diversity at Eagle Labs
Fostering diversity, fuelling success, shaping tomorrow.
Here at Eagle Labs, we understand that diversity is the cornerstone of innovation – the more unique perspectives you have available, the more opportunities you can identify.
We also recognise that more work needs to be done to create a level playing field for diverse founders in the UK. That’s why we champion inclusivity and celebrate founders who are at risk of being overlooked because of their race, gender, sexuality, disability, or neurodivergence.
Recently, we’ve been on a journey, partnering with award-winning organisations to make a lasting impact in diverse communities. Together, we’ve created dedicated programmes, enabled mentorship and facilitated local events to shine a light on businesses led by people from diverse backgrounds.
How we support diverse founders
Our aim is to inspire confidence in the next generation of entrepreneurs, regardless of their race, age, gender, sexuality, disability or neurodivergence.
Our programmes are open to everyone and designed to highlight the challenges that founders from diverse backgrounds face. This way, we can all learn from and educate each other, breaking down barriers to business growth in the process.
