It's about time for baseball in the Fall. The time where everything is on the line and teams are fighting for that chance to get in the playoffs and bring home a World Series Title. The Los Angeles Dodgers are in a great spot to achieve that this season. Startups are always putting everything they have on the line for business success. These two worlds have collided with the Los Angeles Dodgers Accelerator with R/GA.
This is the first ever Los Angeles Dodgers Accelerator program and they are bringing together sports and technology by supporting startups. Here is the focus of the program in their own words:
The companies selected for the program include category leaders and the best emerging companies at the intersection of sports, technology, entertainment and media. Leveraging the full resources of the LA Dodgers, its ownership and partner organizations, this program will provide unparalleled access to sports industry partnerships, distribution channels, and strategic support. Building on the success of its recent R/GA Accelerator programs, R/GA+ will bring to this program its industry-leading strategic marketing, branding, design, and technology-focused methodology and agency services as well as its network of global brand leaders and industry partners.The program has now selected ten companies for the program, that will culminate in a demo day on November 10th. Each startup receives $120,000 in funding, 80+ mentors from the Dodgers and R/GA, support from both companies, co-working space access and on-site experts. To boost the recognition of the LA Dodgers Accelerator with R/GA. they designed custom logo stickers. The first of which took advantage of our custom shapes by keeping the cut around the historic Los Angeles Dodgers cursive logo. The circle log sticker is smaller with the sharp Dodger blue color and smaller brand for the accelerator program. Both are going to look great on laptops and notebooks as the program pushes forward. Keep accelerating with custom logo stickers for your startup and educational programs.
