Disney's high profile digital media Accelerator clearly was a success inside the Mouse House, because it is now going into Round 2. This big news -- just announced this past week -- should be cheered (and acted upon) by digital media entrepreneurs. And the Disney Accelerator -- led by Cody Simms of Techstars -- is accepting applications now (details here).
I am proud to continue to act as an official Mentor. Round 1 was fun indeed. Great innovative companies were indeed accelerated. How could they not be, given the sponsor's panache (and real access to the kingdom of Disney business opportunities). Here is my recap of the inaugural class's Demo Day, which was impressive indeed. Disney certainly knows how to put on a show.
