It's Pitch Madness this March! As part of Founder Fridays by This Week in Startups, we're participating in the worldwide pitch competition where cities will compete in a bracket-style tournament. 🥇 

Here's how it will work for our Portsmouth group:

→ Join the casual info/practice/feedback session on March 6th to get your pitch dialed in

→ Submit a 2-minute pitch video (Loom + slides) to the Portsmouth panel who will select a winner (submissions due March 12th)

→ Our local judge panel will select a winner to submit to the Pitch Madness bracket.

→ Every few days This Week in Startups will announce the winners of the bracket across social media.

→ The Final Four will pitch to Jason on This Week in Startups! (The channel on YouTube has 300k subscribers)
