A New Sports Startup Accelerator Emerges

Small business in the city of St. Louis has heavily benefitted from the use of accelerators. The state of Missouri has the fourth highest amount of business accelerators in the U.S., with accelerators focusing on technology firms, agribusiness, biotechnology, women-owned startups and financial firms.

Now, two St. Louis natives are looking into another profitable and booming industry—sports technology.

Art Chou and Tim Hayden are launching Stadia Accelerator, an enterprise designed to bridge certain gaps between big companies and startups.

Increasingly, big companies have looked to startups, instead of their own research and development teams to do much of the innovation in the marketplace.
