2006 TCU Elevator Pitch Competition

The 2006 TCU CEO Elevator Pitch Competition on October 11, 2006, sponsored by the Neeley Entrepreneurship Program was an amazing success.

An elevator pitch competition requires contestants to convince a panel of "investors" in two minutes or less why their business idea is worthy of an investment. The contestants must leave the panel of judges with more answers than questions when they have completed their "elevator pitch."

Thirteen TCU students entered the competition for the chance to compete at the National Elevator Pitch Competition which will be held in Chicago November 2-5.

The top three winners included:

First Place: Adam Blake
Second Place: Jacob Watson
Third Place: John Parker

The event was judged by former Fort Worth Mayor and Senior Advisor to the Chancellor, Bob Bolen; Neeley Entrepreneurship Program Director, David Minor; and Neeley Entrepreneurship Program Board Member, Ash R. Huzenlaub.
