Elevator Pitch

Weight
33.3%
Description
This is where the entrepreneur tells you about his or her business in a quick presentation, no formal slides....think of it as if you were in an Elevator, going up 3 floors....what could they tell you in that amount of time that would keep you engaged and make you want to do business with them, or potentially invest in their business? You will have time to ask them questions afterwards.
