Tim Hayden on the genesis of Stadia Accelerator Program Most of our friends have all risen through the ranks and the common thread underneath is they all want to give back and they really want to help the next generation just like people help them. So that was the genesis of the accelerator program for Stadia.
Tim Hayden, Stadia Ventures
Need a keynote speaker for your next event or conference? About Tim HaydenTim Hayden is the Co-Founder & Managing Director at Stadia Ventures.
Prior to Stadia Ventures, Tim has always been involved in strategic planning, digital media and marketing. He started out with the United Parcel Services (UPS) which introduced him to sports business as they were engaged more in the sports sponsorship side. After realising he was better suited in startups and small businesses, Tim joined and helped a startup sports marketing agency. Luckily, the agency got tied in with the St. Louis Cardinals which opened a lot of opportunities for both the agency and Tim. He then went on and started his own business called Vivid Sky and SkyBOX to create a mobile application for sports fans anywhere in the world. This went to lead Tim to building Stadia Ventures.
Stadia Ventures is a sports-and esports-focused venture firm with a sports business accelerator. Stadia Accelerator helps establish sports startups get to the next level through the combination of a $100K equity investment, intensive mentoring, and connecting founders to the top sports business executives in the country. They currently have 36 companies in their portfolio.
Aside from Stadia Ventures, Tim also pursues his passion in helping the next generation of students as a Senior Adjunct Professor at Saint Louis University.
