At last week’s second annual Sports Innovation Conference, produced by the Conshohocken-based VC firm, six startup founders from around the U.S. had the opportunity to pitch their sportstech ventures to a panel of judges, including former Philadelphia Phillies player Ryan Howard and NBA Hall of Famer Ralph Sampson.
The pitch competition capped off a day of panels at Citizen’s Bank Parkabout the future of innovation in sports, including a conversation about Nerd Street Gamers‘ esports deal with retailer Five Below.
Judges of the pitch competition included Howard, who’s also a SeventySix Capital investor; Sampson; Jennifer Fox, the president of wealth management at Bryn Mawr Trust; and Jeff Kunowski, associate director of innovation programs of the Global Sport Institute at Arizona State University.
