LOS ANGELES: The Walt Disney Company held a graduation ceremony for its in-house accelerator programme on Oct 13, giving nine companies the chance to pitch their plans to change the entertainment industry.
Now in its third year, the Disney Accelerator gives startup companies access to Disney executives as they fine-tune their products. The companies are selected from a much larger group of applicants.
