About The Competition
Competitors receive access to “Cameo Coaches” – thought leaders within the MSP space who will provide feedback to participants on their products. The judges will be evaluating each solution based on product innovation, value proposition, GTM strategy, contribution to the industry, and likelihood of success in order to choose the three finalists.
The finalists will be selected from this group to present their solutions on the center stage at IT Nation Connect on November 8-10, 2023. The first-place winner will receive $70,000 in prize money and the second-place winner will receive $30,000.
Sean Lardo, ConnectWise Evangelist, commented:
“We’re absolutely ecstatic over this year’s cohort. We received our highest ever total of submissions in 2022, and then doubled it this year. Last year’s program was a great success. All of the companies in our cohort have demonstrated notable growth and achievements, and two were even acquired. As PitchIT continues to make an impact on the industry, we’re excited to introduce this year’s solutions to our partners and the MSP space at large. With the most diverse group of products and services yet, ConnectWise is committed to helping technology solution providers everywhere, making them more efficient, profitable, and secure.”
