Co-Founder & CEO
Alita has been selected as one of 10 seed-stage companies to pitch in Startup Showcase LIVE at Venture Atlanta 2026, October 14-15 in Atlanta. Four finalists advance to a live Q&A with investor judges, and one company wins a $475,000 investment prize.
ATLANTA, September 24, 2026: Alita today announced that it has been selected as one of 10 seed-stage companies to pitch in Startup Showcase LIVE at Venture Atlanta 2026, one of the nation’s largest venture capital conferences. The conference takes place October 14-15 at the Woodruff Arts Center and Atlanta Symphony Hall.
Startup Showcase LIVE is Venture Atlanta’s pitch competition for pre-seed and seed-stage technology companies across the Southeast. Each of the 10 selected companies will pitch on the #VA2026 stage. Four finalists will then return for a live Q&A session with a panel of investor judges, and one company will win a $475,000 investment prize.
The competition is hosted in partnership with five of the Southeast’s most active early-stage investors: Cofounders Capital, Front Porch Venture Partners, Knoll Ventures, TiE Atlanta Angels, and Women on the Cap Table. Together they fund the $475,000 prize, and the winning company joins their portfolios.
The selection builds on Alita’s earlier recognition as a Venture Atlanta 2026 showcase company. Alita will pitch alongside Abra, Claims Concierge, ContractorHUB, Haloid, MarkIt (YC F25), Novineer, Power Generation Nuclear Services, Querious, and Tada Ai.
“Senior care runs on conversations: a family calling about their mom at 9 p.m., a caregiver applying from their phone between shifts, a hospital referral that needs an answer today. Most of those conversations still wait for someone to be free. Alita answers every one of them instantly, qualifies the person, and gets them onto the right calendar, so care teams can spend their time on care. Pitching on the Venture Atlanta stage is a chance to show investors how big that opportunity is,” said Matt Rosa, Co-Founder & CEO of Alita.
Alita is the 24/7 front desk for senior care. It responds to families, referral partners, and job applicants the moment they reach out by web chat, SMS, phone, and social messaging, qualifies them for fit, and books tours, assessments, and interviews directly onto staff calendars. Alita works across both of the jobs that decide an operator’s growth: patient, resident, and client intake, and caregiver and clinician hiring.

About Venture Atlanta 2026
Now in its 19th year, Venture Atlanta has grown from a gathering of a couple hundred attendees and 20 investment funds in 2007 into an event that welcomes more than 1,600 attendees and more than 500 investment funds each year, many from outside the Southeast. The conference has connected more than 1,000 companies to $8.8 billion in capital, and its network has been part of more than $22.3 billion in successful exits, including Kabbage, Cloud Sherpas, Roadie, ParkMobile, and Salesloft.
Every company selected to pitch is vetted by Venture Atlanta board members and industry experts, and the two-day program pairs pitches with curated one-on-one investor meetings and programming for founders, investors, and corporate innovation leaders.
“Venture Atlanta has become much more than a place where founders meet investors. Today’s entrepreneurs are looking for strategic partners, customers, talent, and corporate relationships alongside capital,” said Allyson Eman, CEO of Venture Atlanta, in announcing the 2026 company lineup.
