Wake Forest University Elevator Competition

Wake Forest University Elevator Competition November 15, 2013. Student teams from top universities have two minutes in an elevator to pitch their idea for changing the future of retail.

The Elevator Competition was founded in 2000 by Daniel Egger & Dr. Stan Mandel. Since then, the competition has evolved into a world-class event and has attracted entrepreneurs from around the globe! Winners will receive cash awards and the potential to present to angel investors for investments up to $2,000,000.

Beginning in the fall of 2012, the Elevator Competition will have a new focus: retail innovation. Rather than pitching a plan for a new product, each teams will present their idea for innovating the retail industry as a whole. Whether it's a logistical development that facilitates the consumer experience or a mobile application that changes the way business is conducted, industry executives will be on hand to give valuable feedback and eventually decide which team will receive the top prize of $30,000.
