Today marks the beginning of Techstars’ first SportsTech focused accelerator, the Techstars Sports Accelerator Powered by Indy, a 13-week mentor-ship driven accelerator program supporting startups addressing solutions across the sports spectrum. Seeing great success with past accelerator participants focused on SportsTech solutions, including alumni such as ClassPass (Techstars NYC 2012), DRAFT (previously “Starstreet”, Techstars Boston 2009, acquired for $48M in 2017) CoachUp (Techstars Boston 2012) Brizi (Techstars Boston 2017) and Ubersense (Techstars Boston 2011, sold to Hudl in 2014), we are excited to bring a dedicated Sports focused accelerator to directly support and empower entrepreneurs in this exciting industry.

In partnership with founding partners Pacers Sports & Entertainment, Next Level Fund, 50 South Capital, NCAA, and Indiana Sports Corp, and supporting partners the Indianapolis Colts, NTT IndyCar Series and the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, Techstars is proud to announce the 10 companies selected to participate in the inaugural class of the Techstars Sports Accelerator Powered by Indy!
