The Capital Region Pet Care Entrepreneur Event is coming to Arlington, VA, offering a golden opportunity for startups in the pet care sector. Hosted by Nestlé Purina Petcare, in partnership with Virginia Innovation Partnership Corporation (VIPC) and TEDCO, this event is a key part of Purina’s annual PetCare Innovation Prize program. Entrepreneurs are invited to participate in a live pitch competition with $15,000 in prizes, including $5,000 each for the best pitches from Maryland and Virginia, plus $5,000 for the overall winner.
With applications open until September 1, 2024, this is a prime moment for Virginia’s innovative pet care startups to shine on a regional stage. The event, held on September 5, will feature not just the competition but also invaluable networking opportunities and expert panels, making it an unmissable gathering for those looking to make waves in the industry.
We encourage you to seize this chance to gain visibility, win funding, and connect with key players in the pet care space. More details and application information can be found on the event’s official page.
