Announcing the 10 Startups for Comcast NBCUniversal SportsTech 2022

Today, we’re excited to announce the next 10 startups selected for the second class of the Comcast NBCUniversal SportsTech Accelerator!

The companies were chosen from over 800 applicants representing over 44 countries. Startups were selected based on their technology solutions focused on the accelerator’s core investment areas: Media and entertainment, fan/player engagement, athlete/player performance, team and coach success, venue and event innovation, fantasy sports and betting, esports, and the business of sports.

​​Over the next 12 weeks, founders will work one-on-one with SportsTech’s mentors to further develop their business ideas and find creative approaches to challenges in their industries. This is the first year that PGA Tour and WWE® will serve as advisors, joining the other renowned SportsTech partners, which include NBC Sports, Sky Sports, GOLF, Comcast Spectacor, NASCAR, and three U.S. Olympic sports organizations: U.S. Ski & Snowboard, USA Cycling and USA Swimming. Since our launch last year, alumni have participated in 29 pilots and partnerships with SportsTech partners, including 5 commercial deals.

“We launched Comcast NBCUniversal SportsTech to find, fund, and fast-track the top sports technology startups challenging the status quo and creating new innovations that will impact how we participate in, view, and celebrate sports,” said Jenna Kurath, Vice President, Startup Partnerships and Head of SportsTech. “Our first cohort set a high bar and attracted PGA TOUR and WWE to join as SportsTech advisors, a direct result of how the accelerator delivers tangible business value, both to founders and to our partners. This next class is surrounded by a team of leaders who will help these founders build revenue-sustaining businesses and offers us and our network of partners an early-lens into next-gen developments in sports tech I’m excited to see what partnerships develop during the program and beyond.”

This year’s mentors will include industry leaders from Comcast NBCUniversal as well as strategic advisors from the Boomtown network and the partner consortium, including Will McIntosh, Executive Vice President, NBC Sports Next; Lora Dennis, Executive Vice President, NBCUniversal Local; James Clement, Director of Operations, Sky Sports; Craig Neeb, Chief Innovation Officer of NASCAR; Rina Thakker, Senior Vice President, Digital Products for WWE; and Lance Stover, Senior Vice President, New Ventures for PGA TOUR. Jenna Kurath, Vice President, Startup Partnerships and Head of SportsTech, will lead the startups as they work with mentors and business units throughout the program and as they seek proofs of concepts, pilots and partnership deals with Comcast, NBCUniversal, and Sky brands and the broader partner consortium.

At the conclusion of the program, the companies will participate in a Demo Day on May 26, 2022.
