Students and UM alumni entrepreneurs were invited to The Launch Pad at UM to participate in a 60-second 'elevator pitch contest.'  The entrepreneurs had just one minute to get their business out there and then were judged on their pitch. Over $65,000 in prizes was up for grabs.  The finals take place on Friday, November 20.
