After supporting 10 startup companies in their inaugural program last year, the Los Angeles Dodgers and R/GA pared the number in half for the second round in the Dodgers Sports Accelerator, which launched in August.
The fewer number of companies wasn’t for lack of applications, with those increasing from 600 to nearly 700 after a successful first run. The five chosen were Greenfly, Keemotion, Renegade Brands, ShotTracker, and WSC Sports.
“We wanted to continue to focus our time, effort and energy as best we could,” Dodgers chief financial officer Tucker Cain said.
