10 Start-up Finalists Announced

As Jody Holtzman, AARP’s Senior Vice President of Thought Leadership put it: “127 excellent companies applied. This made for some tough decisions when it came time to determine the finalists.” Still, the advisory aboard came through and narrowed the field to 10 companies.

We are pleased to share that Adhere Tech, Caremerge, CoPatient, Inc, HomeTeam Therapy, LabDoor, Life Vest Health, Lively, SoundFest, Veristride and Wello will each be taking the stage on May 31st at the Health Innovation50+ LivePitch. Go here to review a summary of each company.

Earlybird registration ends tomorrow, May 9th, so if you have not yet registered do so now and save $100 before the price goes up.

“After careful consideration, we came away with 10 strong companies who we think are posed to make an impact in healthcare for those 50 and over – and for everyone,” Holtzman said of the evaluation process. “Not only am I looking forward to seeing each of these companies on stage, but I’m also looking forward to the Judges’ and the AARP members’ reactions to what these companies have to offer.”

Congrats to the finalists.  To them and everyone else, we’ll see you in Vegas in just over three weeks.
