Our contestants each had eight minutes to present, followed by two minutes to answer questions from judges and the audience. Each idea needed to be described clearly. The feasibility of the business model substantiated and the target market must be identified as well.
Parker S. Tregoning, WCSU Management Senior, pitched his campus dining delivery idea which the judges found to be exceptionally well-thought out and appreciated Tregoning's dedication as he has already begun to generate revenue from current operations on WCSU's Westside campus.
