Eagle Labs Funding Readiness
Regional Support Programme
Powered by Capital Enterprise
Supporting regional startups through investor-readiness workshops and targeted networking events.
If you’re a startup based outside of London, you could face limited access to investment compared to those in major cities. We’re aiming to address this gap by expanding opportunities and visibility for regional founders.
