The Opportunity

To close the gap in access and funding for underrepresented sports tech founders, DivInc launched its second Sports Tech Accelerator cohort—designed to empower BIPOC and women-led startups focused on high-impact innovation..

Our Role

HTX Sports Tech curated a coalition of advisors, mentors, and ecosystem builders supporting the 12-week accelerator. We provided strategic mentorship, helped shape the founder experience by designing the curriculum, and contributed insights to connect startups with industry partners and capital pathways.

Lasting Impact

Twenty startups advanced their solutions in areas like AI-powered scouting, wearable hydration tech, NIL innovation, and fan engagement platforms. The program strengthened Houston’s sports innovation ecosystem while amplifying diverse founder voices and delivering value to investors and fans alike.
