Business Plan & App Competitions

Congratulations to the winners of the 2011 Business Plan Competition!

Business Plan winner: Pontus Medical - Pontus Medical's wearable patch that predicts exacerbations in heart failure patients by monitoring their fluid status and therefore preventing re-hospitalizations.

Elevator Pitch winner: Cadence Biomedical is developing a new class of kinetic orthotic products that provide therapeutic rehabilitation enabling those who would otherwise require wheelchairs for mobility to walk independently.

The culmination of the Boomer Venture Summit will be the eighth annual Boomer Business Plan Competition. Since 2004, this competition has fostered a cutting-edge forum to explore, share and design the products and services that will dominate the growing boomer marketplace. Contestants will meet investors and partners, secure resources and get media exposure that can help turn dreams into realities.

This year we will be offering a $10,000 grand prize for the best business plan and a $1,000 prize for the best mobile device application or elevator pitch.

Take advantage of this incredible opportunity to have your business plan reviewed by venture capitalists and industry experts! Finalists will have an opportunity to present their plan in front of a panel of blue-ribbon judges who are some of the most recognizable leaders in the field of aging. All competition entrants will have their two-day summit registration fee waived.
