In our bid to accelerate growth, we are thrilled to have been selected by Techstars, one of the leading global startup accelerators as the first-ever African startup into the Minnesota Twins Accelerator program.


The Minnesota Twins Accelerator program focuses on startups at the intersection of tech, sports, and entertainment, and FanBants as a platform where we are building the ultimate fan destination through sports and community, was selected alongside nine other start-ups in the world for the 2022 cohort.


In a statement released by Techstars, the Minnesota Twins Accelerator remains the first of its kind in Minnesota sports. And according to Chris Iles, Senior Director of Brand Experience and Innovation for Minnesota Twins, he envisioned a good future for what FanBants and the other startups would bring to the future of sports and entertainment.
