Olera Earns Third Place At The Prestigious Aggie Pitch Competition

The Aggie Pitch

We at Olera are delighted to share some exciting news. Our venture has been awarded third place in the Aggie PITCH competition, a prestigious event that allows startups to introduce their innovative ideas and business plans.

Aggie PITCH is an exceptional platform that offers competitors the chance to present their business and obtain invaluable feedback from mentors, advisors, and potential investors. The competition encompasses a concise five-minute pitch coupled with a five-minute Q&A session, putting the presenting skills of new startups to the test.

Structure of the Aggie Pitch

This year, the competition became even more challenging and exciting with the inclusion of former students and an elevator pitch round. In this gripping round, startups had just one elusive minute to pitch their business.

We are proud that Olera was brilliantly represented by Logan DuBose at the event.

Looking Ahead

It is an honor to finish in third place in such a competitive and well-regarded competition. The fact that our innovative work in the senior care space has been recognized on this platform strengthens our resolve to stay on our mission of reshaping the senior care industry.

We extend our gratitude to the Aggie PITCH organizers and attendees and congratulate all competitors for their outstanding pitches and innovative ideas. This achievement is a testimony to our commitment to improving the lives of those affected by senior care challenges.
