Hey, we’re hanging out with Sam and Ryan on March 19th for a pitch event. You game to join?

If you have other commitments that day, we totally get it cancel them and get ready for the Super Bowl of startup events 🏈

Because it’s not every day you get to pitch two legends that could drop an angel check into your startup.

Sam Parr scaled his My First Million podcast from the “nobody caring about it” level to the “millions of listeners per month” level.

Ryan Holmes scaled his little idea of a social media dashboard into a tool called Hootsuite.com used by millions of people around the world

Bottom line: you wanna get to know those these two folks.

And what better way to show off your chops than to pitch them your big idea?

• Maybe you get a check? 💸

• Maybe you get some feedback? 🙏

• And just maybe you get a shoutout in the next MFM pod? 🤯

Either way - if you wanna pitch your startup idea to Sam and Ryan on March 19th, fill out this application to let us know 🗳

There’s only one catch.

If you’ve got plans with your cousin for lunch that day and you miss the pitch event, don’t come crying to us 3 months later asking for the recording.

Cuz you ain’t gonna get it.

It’s this pitch event or nothing 🎟

So go sign up and make the most of it founders.

And In case you’re new, this is Napkin Notes: the only newsletter that knows how f***ing valuable founders’ time is and that our biggest competitors for your attention are TikTok, Netflix and your Aura Ring telling you to get 8 hrs of sleep.

If a friend passed you this newsletter, thank them with a $10 Venmo and subscribe below so you don’t miss the next one.
