Every founder, lawyer and creator I met at the Festival of Entrepreneurs was asking the same thing.

Where can I find practical support to build faster and smarter?

I sat down with Clare Moses, Head of Proposition & Digital at Barclays UK Eagle Labs, live at the Birmingham NEC for Episode 2 of our Legally on the Move miniseries.

Here is why this matters for legal startups and growing firms:

1️⃣ A real community platform
Free and open market. Find mentors. Join events. Filter by industry and stage. Connect with founders. List your business in a B2B directory.

2️⃣ Growth programmes that move the needle
Accelerators listed in one place. Strong support for female founders. A large mentor database that includes legal specialists.

3️⃣ Built for action
Set up a profile. Match to what you need. Personalised recommendations. Designed to help the UK SME ecosystem grow.

Google Barclays Eagle Labs Community and create your profile. Then connect with one mentor and register for one programme. Momentum beats perfection.

After my chat with Clare, I hosted a keynote stage panel on "Talent That Scales" with Niki Avraam of WORKWELL, Roei Samuel of Connectd and Simon Gardiner of Carrington West.

Key ideas you can use now.

Hire for teachability and values. Use fractional talent to add senior firepower without the full time cost. Measure engagement and align incentives so everyone grows with the mission.
