Kansas City’s Sprint Accelerator opened in 2013 and kicked off their first class of their Corporate Accelerator program the following year. This week, Sprint and Dairy Farmers of America (DFA) announced the nine participants of the fifth annual class. In the past, classes have focused on specific verticals like mobile health, this year’s class is covering three verticals: IoT, AgTech and food/dairy.
“We have a diverse and exciting group of companies joining our program this year,” said Doug Dresslaer, Managing Director of the Sprint Accelerator. “For Sprint, we’ve recruited companies that align with our IoT team’s core business strategies and for DFA, we’ve not only brought in cutting-edge agricultural technology companies, but we also have three dairy food product companies in this year’s cohort.
