Challenge

The AgeTech Collaborative™ from AARP® is on a mission to Make Aging Easier for Everyone. Innovative startups focused on longevity solutions are invited to apply to participate in the AgeTech Pitch @ ViVE. We seek tech solutions that contribute to healthier and stronger lives.

Process

Startups selected to pitch will receive ONE complimentary registration to ViVE 2027 and the opportunity to win $10,000. In addition, finalists selected to pitch are being considered for the AgeTech Collaborative accelerator program, where they can expect hands-on guidance by a team with years of experience building and creating solutions for the 50+ audience. Learn more here.

Have you applied before? We encourage applicants to only reapply when there is a significant update to share (including but not limited to, revenue, clinical validation, or successful pilots).

The Review

Our selection committee carefully reviews each application. Regardless if your company is selected to pitch, you will be notified of your application status in January 2027.

The Pitch

Participants will deliver 5-minute pitches, followed by 4 minutes of questions from a panel of AgeTech and health tech experts.

Eligibility

To apply, your company must meet all of the following requirements.

Team: At least one founder or team member works on the company full-time.
Business Structure: The company is a registered, incorporated, for-profit entity.
Product Readiness: You have a customer-ready product. If you’re not yet in the market, your product should be developed enough to attract early-adopter customers. Ideas, concepts, and prototypes are not eligible. A minimum viable product or later stage is strongly preferred.
Market Focus: You currently serve the US market or plan to launch in the US within the next 12 months.
Industry Focus: Your solution addresses the AgeTech space, which includes (but isn’t limited to)
- Financial resiliency
- Healthcare
- Social engagement
- Accessibility
- Caregiving
- Other areas of the longevity category: If your company isn’t focused on AgeTech, you may still apply if your solution is in consumer health and wellness. We’re looking for products that help people stay in the game as they age.
