The Los Angeles Dodgers became a player in the accelerator space in 2015, partnering with R/GA Ventures to mentor founders of sports tech startups. Thriving alumni from that program include basketball analytics provider ShotTracker and automated sports video producer Keemotion, which both graduated from the second class in 2016.
The venture was so successful that the Dodgers and R/GA rebranded and refocused their accelerator last year as the Global Sports Venture Studio.
