We love to see equestrian sports go mainstream for all the right reasons and so we have to give a shoutout today to Jessa and McKinsey Lux, co-founders of Ride iQ. This week they competed in the 2022 Pitch Competition at the the annual Denver Startup Week against nine other companies, some of which won their way into the finals by winning other pitch competitions and some have previously been featured on Oprah’s favorite things and the Today Show. Jessa and McKinsey must have absolutely rocked their presentation and deftly conveyed the intricacies of the equestrian athlete’s needs, because they WON!
Huge congratulations go out to the entire Ride iQ team! Never tried the app or not convinced it’s for you? Here’s what it’s all about.
