“PitchIT was created to help accelerate the next generation of innovators in the MSP space,” said Sean Lardo, Vice President of IT Nation Communities at ConnectWise. “Each year, we’re inspired by the creativity and impact of emerging vendors, and we’re excited to welcome a new cohort of companies bringing bold ideas that will help shape the future of managed services.”
“Participating in PitchIT was a great experience for Mizo,” said Nat Denechere, co-founder of Mizo. “The process not only gave us exposure but also valuable feedback that helped sharpen our pitch and messaging. Being part of the community and connecting with other founders was incredibly rewarding.”
Applications open February 1, 2026, and will remain available through April 30, 2026. Vendors interested in participating can apply online at https://itnation.connectwise.com/pitchit#apply.
