Where Are They Now?


Celebrating Five Years of Big Ideas, Bold 
Entrepreneurs, and What Happens After the Pitch

When these companies first stepped onto the Pitch Elk Grove stage, many were still in the earliest chapters of their journeys. Some were testing prototypes, validating their ideas, or working to secure their first customers. Today, they are building companies that reach far beyond Elk Grove and the Sacramento region.

JAPA has grown from an early-stage smart parking startup into a company serving airports, hospitals, universities, and municipalities across the country, including a major Master Services Agreement with Kaiser Permanente.

ValleyMatch was just beginning to gain customers when it was showcased at Pitch Elk Grove. During the competition process, the company tripled its revenue and was later acquired.

Red Line Safety has gone from an early-stage concept focused on protecting firefighters to winning first place and a $40,000 prize at Tech Grove Demo Day, opening the door to potential deployment on U.S. military installations.

Foodom has served approximately 250,000 chef-prepared meals and expanded its mission into healthcare, including a contract to provide medically tailored meals to eligible Medi-Cal members.

Matrubials is advancing new treatments toward FDA discussions while preparing to launch its first consumer product.

LogRx has nearly tripled its customer base and grown into an international software company serving nearly 600 organizations and more than 22,000 healthcare professionals.

EnlitenAI, has moved from technology validation to FDA registration and is now working to expand access to specialty neurological care through a new virtual epilepsy monitoring model.

And IGH Naturals (HuMOLYTE) has completed a promising human clinical study, helping turn a venture capital firm that previously passed on the company into a major investor.

These stories are a reminder that Pitch Elk Grove is about more than one night and one competition. It's about giving entrepreneurs a platform, connecting them to new opportunities, and supporting them at pivotal moments in their journey.

From early prototypes to acquisitions, from first customers to international growth, and from ambitious ideas to technologies changing industries, these former finalists are part of the story Pitch Elk Grove has been building over the last five years.

Now, we're ready to see what's next. Join us on Thursday, September 3, for Pitch Elk Grove's 5th Anniversary as a new group of entrepreneurs takes the stage to pitch their ideas, share their vision, and compete for the opportunity to write their own next chapter. Come celebrate five years of innovation and entrepreneurship and help us cheer on the next generation of Pitch Elk Grove success stories.
