The Techstars SportsTech Melbourne Accelerator
Inaugural Class
April 2,
2020
By Todd Deacon, Managing Director of Techstars SportsTech Melbourne
Techstars
SportsTech Melbourne Accelerator focuses on early-stage sports technology
companies that aim to disrupt and drive innovation in high performance sport,
grassroots participation, as well as event and media technology.
Our 2020
cohort is truly diverse. It boasts a global list of companies, ranging from
Australia, Spain, Germany, Austria, India, USA, and Canada. On top of this, our
founders hail from various backgrounds including sports science professors,
automotive engineers, film production, ex-athletes, photographers and
previously successful startup entrepreneurs.
Amidst the
current global climate, Techstars’ top priority is our network’s health and
safety. We will continue to do all we can to minimize the risks of COVID-19 and
work together to get through this worldwide crisis. We are actively adjusting
how our organization is operating, working hard to minimize disruption to our
programming and events. As part of these adjustments, we’ve decided to take the
necessary and responsible measure to ensure the safety of our founders and
mentors by delaying the official start of Techstars SportsTech Melbourne
Accelerator to June 1st.
At the same
time, we’ve selected the 10 companies that will be joining us for the inaugural
year of our program and we are thrilled to begin our work with them. Over the
course of the next 2 months we will be working with these companies to provide
programming, mentor connections and other resources between now and when
officially begin our program.
Like all
Techstars accelerators, our goal is simple – we will turbocharge our
companies’ development with their customer growth, fundraising, and other
fundamental business functions. Our corporate partners – Tennis Australia,
Victoria University and LaunchVic – share this vision, and we’re excited to
collaborate our resources together in helping build ten world class SportsTech
companies. Join us in welcoming the following companies to the Techstars
worldwide network.
