November 29, 2007 – Judges in the University of Dayton’s Business Plan Competition recently selected five teams as finalists to craft full business plans. To get this far, competitors had to sell judges on their “elevator pitches” — brief summaries meant to convince venture capitalists to invest in their business ideas. Among the finalists: Lori Hanna, a UD mechanical engineering major, who offered a pitch on a solar-powered sterilizer for medical equipment. Hanna’s one-minute presentation on the concept won her the $1,000 first prize in the elevator-pitch portion of the contest, the university said.
