Comcast NBCUniversal SportsTech Accelerator powered by Boomtown10 announced that 10 new companies were accepted into the fourth class of the program.
The immersive six-month program will kick off in March. The 10 companies selected will have a chance to engage with some of the top sports and tech brands from around the world, including the Premier League, which just joined the SportsTech partner consortium last summer, along with NBC Sports, NBC Sports Next, Sky Sports, Comcast Spectacor, Golf, NASCAR, and PGA TOUR; and three US Olympic sports organizations: U.S. Ski & Snowboard, USA Swimming, and USA Cycling. Since the first class in 2021, SportsTech alumni have achieved 132 pilots, partnerships, and commercial deals with consortium partners.
The companies will have access to decision-makers at leading sports brands and organizations.
Comcast will provide valuable insights on enhancing its products and services and prepare for accelerated commercial success through strategic collaborations with program partners and within the broader sports industry.
Entrepreneurs will work one-on-one with SportsTech advisors and participate in customized programming focused on refining go-to-market strategy, commercial business alignment, and adaptive business modeling, with an emphasis on direct business outcomes for enterprise-ready scale.
SportsTech participants will also benefit from a series of unique excursions and working retreats structured around partner events that will bring founders behind the scenes to give them a better understanding of the organization’s operational needs.
