Do Not Use

An elevator pitch is a brief overview of an idea for a product, service, or project. The pitch is so called because it can be delivered in the time span of an elevator ride (say, thirty seconds to two minutes depending on the forum and building height). The term is used in the context of an entrepreneur pitching an idea to a venture capitalist .. . . From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

The Rowan C.E.O. Elevator Pitch Competition involves students in a realistic entrepreneurial exercise and serves as a springboard for co-curricular activities. It also may be a stepping stone to help students to ”prime the pump” for future business plan competition entries.

Your idea may or may not be ready for launch. Presenting an idea does not require that you will pursue the creation of that particular company. The main goal is to educate you on how to develop and organize the presentation on a creative business idea or non-profit organization in writing and in a persuasive speech. The Pitch will tell your audience how you will run your business and turn it into a success!

Educational Goals for those who enter:
- To challenge your creativity and business acumen.
- To give students with business venture idea a chance to get feedback.
- To teach the art of pitching a business idea and enhance presentation skills.

For Winners of the Finals:
- A showcase for your talent and passion for Entrepreneurship
- Exposure to business leaders who may give support and coaching.
- A trip to Chicago for the top 3 to compete for cash prizes on a national scale.

Prizes:
1st – 3rd Place: Free Trip to Chicago and opportunity to compete at the National CEO Conference
4th – 6th Place: Free Membership in CEO
Those who compete in Chicago, are eligible for additional cash prizes ranging from $500 - $2,500 awarded at the CEO Elevator Pitch Competition November 6-7, 2008.
