Terms in plain English

Stadia Ventures historically ran an equity investment accelerator for sports and esports startups, with cohorts in St. Louis and Frisco, Texas, and reports 16 cohorts and 76 portfolio companies. Its accelerator page, still tied to a Fall 2023 call, lists a cash investment of up to $100,000 plus a sweat equity investment equal to three times the cash; the equity percentage is not published, and no current terms have been announced. The website does not list an open application; it directs interested founders to a general interest form. Whether the accelerator is currently accepting new cohorts is unclear from published information.

Who this is actually for

Sports and esports founders interested in the Stadia network of sports and business leaders should treat this as a network and investor relationship rather than a scheduled accelerator intake. Confirm current program status directly with the firm before planning around a cohort.
