March Madness and the Final Four aren’t just for college hoops. For four local startups it’s also about qualifying for the finals of the Sacramento Kings & Velocity Venture Capital’s Capitalize competition. 32 local startups competed yesterday before a panel of technology innovators and investors at Velocity Venture’s new downtown office in an exciting day of pitches that left the judges and organizers very impressed with the level of talent on display.

The four winning startups will compete April 5 during the King’s Tech Night game. The winning startup will receive a cash prize along with consultation sessions with Kings executives and lunch with a Kings owner.

Congratulations to all who competed and especially to the winning startups.
