SUMMARY:AgeTech Startup Pitch Competition
DESCRIPTION:AgeInnovate’s 2026 AgeTech Startup Live Pitch Competition takes place on September 16 in Nashville during the Launch Tennessee 3686 entrepreneurial conference. Three finalists will compete for a $25\,000 SAFE-note investment from Community Equity Partners. Applications close July 15. \nSoutheast startups\, with Nashville playing a leading role\, are building solutions for gaps in eldercare\, caregiving and aging-in-place. \nTennessee’s 60-plus population is projected to grow 30% by 2040\, the 80-plus population will double\, and the state already faces a critical\, growing shortage of paid caregivers. Nashville’s $72.1B healthcare ecosystem\, with 900-plus companies\, provides the backdrop for this kind of innovation. \nNashville-area AgeTech startup SpendCare\, winner of last year’s pitch competition\, developed a flexible spending card platform for PACE programs\, caregivers\, and families. Their growth reflects a broader shift in the industry\, with AgeTech expanding beyond consumer longevity products into the infrastructure that supports care delivery\, benefits administration\, and aging-in-place.
