Plus.Fan has accepted an invitation to join the JumpStart Trailblazer Software Accelerator program.
JumpStart is a nationally recognized non-profit entrepreneur support organization that equips tech startups with the skills, services, and capital needed to grow. The competitive application process looks at a number of factors and is extremely competitive with a 7% acceptance rate
The selection team reviews the market size, value proposition, existing product development along with other factors. In addition to the business profile and model, candidate companies are scored based on likelihood of a venture capital raise within 12 months or less. Speaking to the quality of the program, at least 30 Jumpstart companies have been acquired since their founding in 2010.
The Trailblazer Software Accelerator brings together high-growth software companies, experienced operators, and a network of mentors who have successfully scaled technology platforms. For Plus.Fan, this creates an ideal environment to sharpen our product strategy, validate new features, and continue evolving a platform that meets the real-world needs of sports organizations and their communities.
Plus.Fan will use the program to continue to accelerate growth – adding new teams, leagues and organizations across the globe to create the engagement experiences that fans are demanding. Participation in the accelerator gives Plus.Fan access to strategic guidance across product development, go-to-market execution, partnerships, and fundraising. The program support will allow the Plus.Fan team to continue to move quickly and build a technology platform that allows teams to deliver the experience that fans want.
Trailblazer’s collaborative ecosystem aligns with Plus.Fan’s core belief in partnership. By working alongside other innovative software companies, we gain valuable perspectives that help us identify new opportunities, avoid common scaling pitfalls, and apply best practices across engineering, customer success, and growth.
