Announcing the 2017 Sprint Accelerator Class!
Today we welcome the seven companies participating in our 2017 program to Kansas City! We’re excited they are part of our newly restructured corporate accelerator program that will focus on creating working partnerships between our corporate sponsors and the selected companies.
This marks the accelerator’s fourth year, and we’re delighted to be welcoming teams to Kansas City from all over the United States. Our new approach to the Corporate Accelerator model will empower startups in two verticals — Digital and Ag Tech — to work directly with leaders from Sprint, Pinsight Media, Virgin Mobile USA, Dairy Farmers of America and Dairy One.
The seven companies were chosen because their businesses directly align with the goals and needs of their corporate partner.
We’re excited to see how this targeted, laser-focused alignment will produce concrete partnerships by the end of the program.
Stay tuned for more details about how you can meet the companies in early May, and follow our progress on Twitter @sprintaccel!
