Curvestone AI joins the Barclays Eagle Labs Scaleup Programme

Curvestone AI has been selected for the Barclays Eagle Labs Scaleup Programme, one of 25 companies in the cohort. Plexal introduced the cohort on 29 September 2026, and Curvestone announced its place on 5 October 2026.

The programme runs for four months. Each month covers one part of scaling a business: leadership and operations, commercial performance, customer retention and expansion, and funding strategy. Sessions pair expert-led content with founders who have scaled their own companies. The first session was held at the Barclays Innovation Hub powered by Eagle Labs in Shoreditch. Partners include Plexal, EY, Google Cloud, Cooper Parry, Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati and Emerald Technology.

Curvestone will use the programme to build its commercial engine as it grows in mortgages and wealth, to connect with other founders in the cohort and across the Eagle Labs network, and to look at ways of working with the programme's partners.

Why it matters

Compliance and operations teams that choose a supplier want to know the business behind the tool is built to last. A place on a selective Barclays-backed scaleup programme is one outside signal of that.

Curvestone AI automates compliance and oversight for regulated firms, including full case-file reviews, financial promotions and financial crime controls, for mortgage brokers, networks, lenders and wealth advisers across the UK.

"We had a great first session with the programme leads, and it was reassuring to hear how many of our scaling challenges are shared by the other founders in the room."

"Over the next four months I want to learn from people who have scaled before, get to know the wider Eagle Labs network, and explore where we can work with partners such as Google Cloud and EY. We'll be sharing what we've learned on our own journey too."
