Sixers Innovation Lab Crafted by Kimball

Philadelphia 76ers Training Complex, Camden, N.J.

While the Philadelphia 76ers are busy trusting the process and their young lineup on the basketball court, they have created a new process to help young consumer product companies to achieve their potential.

The Sixers Innovation Lab Crafted by Kimball opened earlier this summer in the Business Operations Facility at the 76ers Training Complex in Camden, N.J. The first companies chosen to participate were esports training platform U GIT GUD, daily fantasy sports lineup recommender Monster Roster, cat feeding system Doc & Phoebe’s Cat Co., and digital cause media company Live Life Nice.

In addition to office space, benefits include access to experts and financiers and the opportunity to pitch venture capital firms and other investors.
