Sachem had three students compete in an Elevator Pitch Event:

  • Jeanine Cerqueria from the Sachem North firm MoBuilt

These students prepared a 30-60 second elevator pitch to potential angel investors. The effort was to convince these business leaders to invest in their firm. Angel investors were judges for over 1,200 students at this event.
