Deadline: 12-Sep-22
Are you ready to scale-up with Sodexo Live! Accelerator? If yes then Apply Now Accelerator will be the first program of its kind in North America.
The Sodexo Live! Accelerator provides the opportunity to test your future-facing solution at some of the world’s most exciting sports venues, aquariums, museums, conference centers, and more. If your pitch is successful, you will receive mentoring from senior executives, gain insights from subject matter experts, and there’s the potential for a scaled commercial relationship, too.
Sodexo Live! Accelerator is designed to help you develop your solution, starting with deciding on a specific use case, receiving essential guidance from your mentors, and demonstrating the value of your solution to Sodexo Live! Each startup’s experience within the program will be unique – they tailor the mentoring and education programs to meet your specific business needs.
The program has four stages: application, pitch, program, and demo. This gives you the opportunity to reach Sodexo Live!’s elite client base and learn from their decades of experience in their market sectors. Ultimately, they want to build a relationship based on trust and, if their collaboration throughout the program is successful, they hope that you’ll see us as the first port of call when you need feedback on your new products.
