_
Startup Mania brings together top seed and Series A founders in a March Madness-style competition in an octagon. Not your typical pitch contest—where high-energy competition meets startup culture. Founders will battle it out in a pitch-off for the Championship title belt and a cash prize.
Apply now to be selected as one of the 64 competing startups, or get your Startup Mania tickets as an attendee, investor or partner.
