Real Estate and Livable Cities on Final Pitch Season 5

TV shows featuring home makeover are popular in other countries. It feels great to watch shows that gives hope and offers solution for an organized and clutter-free home.

Speaking of reality shows, the previous season of the Final Pitch, the country’s first and only business reality television show, focused on various technology startups and SMEs pitching their businesses to investor judges for funding. This time, real estate-related deals and solutions for the property sector will be the highlight.

Final Pitch has launched its 5th season and will begin airing early next year. The Final Pitch Season 5 will feature landowners and entrepreneurs who will pitch their properties and businesses to a panel of investor-judges who are looking to own a piece of their properties or companies.

"For the first time ever, we will be producing a season with a theme. The Final Pitch Season 5: Real Estate and Livable Cities Edition will be the first season focused on real estate projects, urban solutions, and property technologies that contribute to the livability and sustainability of our cities" said John Aguilar, serial entrepreneur creator and host of the show. Aguilar is also the CEO of Dragon’s Nest, a startup venture builder that will be building the ASEAN region’s next exponential startups.

The show will also feature startups who will pitch businesses that make for livable cities - green and sustainable building materials and technologies, clean energy, all the way to smart home and proptech (property technology) startups. Entrepreneurs who pitch their enterprise, service or invention must have at least a minimum viable product or prototype.
