Wichita based startup Lawn Buddy won a $17,000 prize package last night at the first Get Started Wichita, a pitch event sponsored by Cox Business.
Lawn Buddy is working on a mobile app that offers on-demand, year round lawn care services. The company’s founder Steve Werner plans to launch the app this winter, according to the Wichita Business Journal.
The prize includes $5,000 cash as well as other business services valued at a total of $17,000. Pitches were evaluated by a panel of five judges, which included John Dascher of the e2e Accelerator.
The company beat out four other teams in the competition, including Filimin.
