Waterford LEO open Pitch Perfect
Praveen Kaur is the founder and CEO of Uoto, a peer-to-peer rental company based in Waterford.
Waterford Local Enterprise Office (LEO) are launching their new call out for budding entrepreneurs with their Pitch Perfect 2025 competition.
Previous winners include Praveen Kaur, founder of Uoto, a peer-to-peer car rental company that aims to innovate the way people rent cars at airports, and Michael Power, founder of Greenfeed, an animal feed additive, which dramatically reduces methane emissions from ruminant species (such as cattle) currently farmed in Ireland.
The program is inviting applications under two categories; Best Business Idea and Best Start-Up Business (trading less than 18 months) and winners can take money and industry awards.
The competition will take place over a day and a half bootcamp from April 25 - 26.
Day one of the programme will take place at SETU Xcelerate Centre, SETU West Campus, Carriganore, Waterford, home to some of the most innovative companies in digital technology. Programme mentors will work with participants on their idea.
Day two will be on location at Boxworks, Waterford’s co-working space for tech and creative industries, and hub for smart-thinking entrepreneurs, start-ups and ambitious small businesses. Participants will fine-tune their pitch before presenting to the judges who will select the top pitches, with prize winners announced on the day.
