Invite to Wake Forest's Elevator Competition

I received an email from our friends at Wake Forest for their Elevator Competition.  You actually pitch while going up an elevator.  Duke's own Daniel Egger was involved in this competition for quite a while. 

If interested in competing, contact them directly.

"I hope the start of 2009 is proceeding well and that it continues that way.  At Wake Forest we are planning for a great business plan competition, our 10^th Anniversary.  Time with friends goes very quickly.

 

Stan and I are hoping that a team from Duke will register this year for our elevator competition.  

There are some details below; please let me know if I can provide any additional insight.
