AO Innovation Lab pitch day competition winners revealed

FactGem, SurflyPez.AI and Hexa have emerged as the winners of AO.com’s Innovation Lab pitch day competition. 

AO, in partnership with L Marks, received 200 applications. Fifteen tech startups were invited to pitch their e-commerce innovation ideas in 15 minutes. 

“AO’s Innovation Labs pitch day showcased some of the best talent that e-commerce has to offer,” says Clark Richey, Co-founder and Chief Technology Officer, FactGem. “We’re thrilled to have been selected to partner with AO, and are looking forward to working with such an innovative retailer.”

“The software that retailers use to map data and relationships varies by application, so getting the systems to talk to one another can be complex, expensive and labour intensive,” comments Megan Kvamme, Co-founder and CEO, FactGem.

“We are humbled to be partnering with AO, as they solve this problem with innovative technologies. Together, we’re excited to get answers to complex questions in minutes or hours, instead of the traditionally long process of data connection.”
