Aging 2.0 - #30in30in30 - Palo Alto Pitch Event Startups #30in30in30 is an initiative supported by Aging 2.0 to encourage local communities around the world to host pitch events for new innovative products and services that stand to improve the lives of older adults. Aging 2.0 is taking part by hosting one of 30 Pitch Events in 30 cities around the world in 30 days. This global initiative will give budding entrepreneurs the opportunity to present their products and services, network with key constituents in their communities, and collect feedback from consumers and peers. Each event will allow for several startups to pitch and answer questions from the audience. The audience, including a panel of older adults, will then vote on a winner, who will have the chance to pitch to the larger Aging2.0 community and attend the Aging2.0 AgeTech Expo in November.
