The AGENCY Pitchfest for Vitality, sponsored by AARP Innovation Labs, seeks to identify and showcase the most promising startups with solutions that empower people to choose how they live as they age.  We invite you to apply if you are a startup that enhances the vitality of the world’s aging population with a novel agetech product or service, focused on the well-being, nutrition, fitness, or lifestyle of older adults!  Selected startups will pitch, demo, and field questions from expert judges at the AGENCY Pitchfest @ Virtual VentureCafe on July 16th, 2020.  You'll also get exposure in front of a global virtual audience of industry leaders in aging & longevity, as well as to potential investors, collaborators, and customers. Top winners earn an opportunity to compete for the 2020 Innovator in Aging Award at the national AARP Innovation Labs Grand Pitch Finale 2020 in the fall.
