DivInc announced the launch of its first Sports Tech Accelerator made possible through support from title sponsor, Verizon. DivInc's 5G Sports Tech Accelerator in partnership with Verizon supports startups using technology to drive human performance, fan experience, the future of media, sports betting, esports, and gaming innovation. It was designed to identify and provide sports and esports startups with the resources they need to succeed in the global sports technology market projected to reach $41 Billion by 2026.

DivInc collaborates with professional sports and sports tech subject matter experts to serve as mentors, advisors, coaches, and investors to help cohort founders build businesses that attract teams, leagues, and agencies. In total, 10 companies will be accepted to the 12-week program which will run from April through June 2022 and will be hosted at The Ion in the heart of Midtown Houston. Upon completion of the program, each participating company will receive $10,000 non-dilutive seed funding provided by Verizon.

Throughout the accelerator, Verizon will also work with the DivInc team on programming and thought leadership initiatives. The Spring 2022 5G Sports Tech Accelerator in partnership with Verizon is also supported by Houston premier partners, J.P. Morgan Chase & Co., The Ion, and Mercury, along with supporting sponsor, Intel, and programming partners HTX Sports Tech, The Cannon Sports & Media, Sports Innovation Texas, and Women in Sports Tech.
