Description

The Elevator Pitch Contest (EPC) was founded by Sight and Life and provides a platform for students to present their innovation in nutrition to a distinguished team of experts, potential investors, and the nutrition science community. It is an interactive approach whereby an entrepreneur must boil down their concept into a persuasive pitch that will spark interest from potential financiers and is a critical part of the entrepreneurial process. As competition for research and investment funds increases, young scientists need to effectively articulate their ideas and do so in a manner that is persuasive and precise.
