✨ What an incredible weekend of innovation, teamwork, and entrepreneurial spirit at Startup 48!

🎉 Big congrats to this year’s Startup 48 winner, Unleashed Lounge! Their pet care service—with a pickup and drop-off option like a school bus for dogs—is a game-changer for pet parents! 🐾🚌

The weekend was full of inspiring pitches with standout ideas, including:

🏡 Elk Creek Cottages - a tiny home Airbnb community
💊 Stripz - offering innovative ni****ne strips
🎾 D**k District Pickleball
🍪 Cookies on Clairemont
🍹 The Halfway - an 18+ nightclub serving mocktails
