Disney Accelerator

Disney Accelerator is a corporate programme run within The Walt Disney Company that provides investment capital, mentoring and access to resources across the group to growth-stage technology and entertainment startups. Participants are selected at the growth stage - later than typical seed-stage accelerator cohorts - and the stated offering pairs equity investment with structured guidance from Disney personnel and connectivity to the wider organisation's assets and operations.

The programme's positioning sits at the intersection of technology and entertainment, and its principal distinction from independent accelerators is the corporate sponsor: companies in the cohort are given access to resources across The Walt Disney Company rather than to a standalone fund's network. Beyond the description of stage, sector and the form of support offered, the programme does not publicly detail its investment terms, check sizes, cohort composition or selection process.

Further information on the programme, including application and participation details, is published at sites.disney.com/accelerator/.
