🏆 Huge congratulations to Weevva, winner of this year’s Genesis Pitch & Pick Invitational and the grand prize of $10,000! 🎉 This award includes two Gardiner Centre - Faculty of Business Administration, Memorial University professional development courses and the newly unveiled pitcher plant trophy crafted by local artist Ian Gillies. The unique sculpture of our provincial flower, made of steel, represents strength and resilience, perfectly embodying the qualities of tech founders. Weevva is on a mission to simplify renting for everyone. As an all-in-one platform, it streamlines every step of the rental process, from finding tenants to managing leases.

Winning Pitch & Pick is a game-changer for Matt, a first-time entrepreneur, and his team at Weevva. This support provides essential funding to fuel their growth and bring new energy to the future of renting.
