Disney Accelerator

Disney Accelerator is a program created to promote the growth of start-up companies from around the world.   Since the inception of the program in 2014, many companies continue to work with Disney on innovative new products and ideas.  An example of a successful Accelerator collaboration would be the BB-8 enabled Droid that became the number one Star Wars Toy in 2015.  This week, the Walt Disney Company announced the eleven 2017 companies that are helping to build the future in the areas of media and entertainment as part of the Accelerator program.  The companies are as follows :

Ambidio: A sound company that produces a continuous sound field through stereo speakers, making the listening experience more immersive

.aXiomatic: An esports company with a majority steak in Team liquid, a top esports team in the US and Europe with 60 pro players, coaches and analysts.


Brit + Co: A digital media company with a focus on empowering women through inspiring content, products and online learning which currently boast 125 million users.

Epic Games:  The team behind the Unreal, Gears of War and Infinity Blade series of games, as well as newer titles such as Fortnite, Paragon and Robo Recall.

Hoodline: a local news  platform that geotags content from hundreds of media partners to websites or mobile apps. They also analyze findings for business and media companies.

Kahoot!: a game-based learning platform with more than 50 million monthly active users  worldwide.

ProductionPro: a tool for storytellers, screenwriters, and creators that pulls scripts, research, designs, and continuity together to foster creative decision-making.

The VOID: An entertainment company that fully immerses guests in virtual experiences with friends and family. The VOID combines interactive sets, virtual reality, real-time effects, and state of the art technology to bring guests into their experience.

The Disney Accelerator was created to match each of these portfolio companies with the expertise of The Walt Disney Company thus providing leadership, support and mentoring opportunities.  This year’s program will help shape the entertainment and technology industries with entrepreneurs who are looking at these fields in exciting and innovative ways.
