Blackbird today announces a collaboration with Barclays Eagle Labs to deliver video editing skills workshops for founders and entrepreneurs using elevate.io.
The first event takes place virtually on Tuesday 30th September 2025. Interested founders and entrepreneurs can register here to secure their place.
These workshops are part of a broader cooperation between Barclays Eagle Labs and elevate.io, designed to support their community through both virtual and in-person events. The sessions will show how to create professional-quality videos with minimal editing experience, using next-generation tools like elevate.io.
Barclays Eagle Labs is a nationwide entrepreneurial network with over 40 physical spaces, connecting startups and scaleups to resources, expertise, and tailored programmes to help them innovate and grow.
elevate.io is a new type of video editor that harnesses the power and precision of traditional desktop editing platforms with the convenience and flexibility of online tools. Powered by Blackbird’s patented, ultra-responsive technology, it delivers high-performance video editing anywhere, making it effortless for everyone, from entrepreneurs to marketing teams, to bring their stories to life.
Ian McDonough, Executive Chair and CEO, said:
“We’re excited to work with entrepreneurs and founders to show that creating professional-quality video is within everyone’s reach. Traditional video editing software can be overly complex for beginners. With elevate.io, we set out to build a browser-based tool that’s intuitive, powerful, and collaborative, enabling anyone to tell their story through video with confidence.”
