The NFLPA’s athlete-driven accelerator, the OneTeam Collective, will host its third-annual pitch competition today in Atlanta. A group of 10 startups have been invited by the NFLPA to participate in the event and two winning companies will be chosen to join the OneTeam Collective’s portfolio.
The event will take place at the Switchyards club in downtown Atlanta, and will be moderated by ESPN anchor Michele Steele. Each company will have six minutes to pitch their products and ideas to a judging panel consisting of Malaika Underwood, VP of licensing for Brandr Group, Eric Winston, former NFL player and NFLPA president, Teri Smith, NFLPA Deputy Managing Director, fantasy sports writer Matthew Berry, Rouz Jazayeri, the co-founder and managing director of Catapult Ventures, and Marques Colston, former NFL player and CEO of Dynasty Innovation.
