Winners of Kabara contest announced

The Kabara Institute for Entrepreneurial Studies announced that Nick Fabbri, Laura Enstad, Catherine McDonald and Benjamin A. Scott were awarded the top prizes in the recent Elevator Pitch Competition.

Contestants created an idea for a new business and had 90 seconds (the length of an average elevator ride) to convince a panel of judges that the idea was a worthwhile investment.

Students from several different majors developed ideas ranging from food delivery services to manufacturing businesses to internet-based companies.
