Absolute pleasure to announce that Dr. @OkholmKryger from @YourStMarys will be joining us on one of our fantastic fireside chats to talk about ways to improve the research and design of women’s sportswear to improve performance and reduce the risk of injury in women’s sport.
Buzzing to get another absolute powerhouse involved on the Jump Accelerator. Dr. Scott Robinson, CEO of The Edge HPL, will be talking to us about his journey from working within academy sport, through to creating and running a highly trusted elite nutrition and testing clinic.
Only one week to go to apply to join the Jump Accelerator! If you're a founder of a sports tech start-up, the accelerator will provide you with the knowledge, tools, and templates to help improve your investability and get you in front of a room of investors.
Happy to announce that Richard Whitmore and Patrick Simpson from SHUFL Capital (VC investors in start-ups across sleep, health, fitness and leisure) have joined the Jump Accelerator as expert mentors, and will be in the room for the Pitch and Demo day to close the accelerator.
