We’ve been waiting for this moment for months. Today, it’s finally arrived—the announcement of the companies selected for the second class of our accelerator.

They were selected from a pool of over 800 applicants from 44 countries across the globe. We picked them based on their capabilities and tech solutions focused on our accelerator’s eight key investment areas: Media and entertainment, fan/player engagement, athlete/player performance, team and coach success, venue and event innovation, fantasy sports and betting, esports, and the business of sports.

 

Over the course of the next 12 weeks, founders will spend time working with the SportsTech accelerator and its partners to grow their businesses and discover creative approaches to the biggest challenges facing the sports tech industry.
