LOS ANGELES -- The first-ever Dodgers Accelerator program reached the second stage on Monday with the selection of 10 companies that will leverage the resources of the franchise, its owners and partners.
The program, in partnership with communications and advertising company R/GA, has selected fledgling companies dedicated to transforming sports, technology, entertainment and media. The companies will spend the next three months working to impact the sports and entertainment industry, not just the Dodgers and MLB.
The 10 companies selected for the program represent the diverse spectrum of sports technology and entertainment:
• Appetize -- point of service, mobile ordering and inventory management platform for live events.
