It has been months since the Startup World Cup’s Orlando stop was first announced.

Now, it’s just days away.

Ten Orlando-area startups continue to prepare for a chance to travel to Silicon Valley in pursuit of a $1 million grand prize and, perhaps more importantly, showing off what they do for potential investors.

Here are three more businesses to check out.

PETE Learning

Why enter the Startup World Cup?

Startup World Cup represents another opportunity to give PETE visibility to our local technology ecosystem and the possibility of national projection. We are a pioneer in AI-driven learning platforms.

How does PETE Learning stand out?

We are the only company in the cohort focused on learning technologies and helping growing small to medium-sized companies overcome their training challenges. We enable organizations to deliver personalized workforce learning at scale.

What is PETE Learning’s “why?”

Workforce training becomes vital for organizations once they surpass 50 employees. However, for those organizations, creating or licensing online courses is expensive. Often, the solution is to rely on functional leaders who lack the experience to create training. The result is a mediocre training experience for the workforce. Our technology solves this problem effectively and inexpensively.

EVQLV

Why enter the Startup World Cup?

Participating in pitch competitions allows EVQLV to connect with the broader entrepreneurial community while continuously refining how we communicate the company’s vision. It’s a valuable opportunity to engage with peers, investors and experts, all while sharpening the clarity and impact of my message.

How does EVQLV stand out?

What truly differentiates EVQLV is our ability to integrate customer-specific data into our platform without compromising their competitive edge. This level of customization, combined with our computational prowess, ensures we deliver tailored solutions that reduce failure rates and maximize success in antibody discovery.

What is EVQLV’s “why?”

My personal connection to healthcare has shaped the “why” behind EVQLV. My mother has been ill for most of my life, and I’ve witnessed firsthand the gaps in the healthcare system. I launched EVQLV with a mission to change that—by using AI to discover and develop life-saving therapies faster, I want to contribute to a world where fewer people suffer through healthcare failures.

SPOT Fitness

Why enter the Startup World Cup?

We entered Startup World Cup to gain exposure to investors and experts who can help us scale our platform and grow our community. The competition provides a unique opportunity to pitch Spot on a global stage, connect with mentors and learn from other innovative startups. The exposure from this event is invaluable as we are entering the post-revenue stage and looking to grow.

How does Spot Fitness stand out?

Spot combines AI technology with the concept of social engagement, creating a platform that doesn’t just help people find activities but also connects them with others who share their passions. Our consumer customer retention and acquisition metrics are exceptional, and we have a waiting list of 170 Central Florida businesses. Our marketing model can be tied explicitly to revenue. Combined with our team of veteran domain experts and relationships with global brands like Urban Air, Victory Martial Arts, Orangetheory and more, we are designed and well-positioned for long-term massive scale. 

What is Spot Fitness’ “why?”

We launched Spot because we saw a growing disconnect between people wanting to live an active life and the lack of a simple, effective way to make that happen. We also had the skillset and background to build habit-forming apps, and we were looking for an opportunity where we could apply that skill to a habit that provides value to the individual as well as businesses and society at large, and in a market that was quickly accelerating to mass adoption. Our mission is to use technology to bring people together, helping them form meaningful connections while staying healthy and active.
