On Thursday, April 17, 2008, CenTILE sponsored the first Elevator Pitch Competition on the Michigan Technological University campus. Ten student teams competed for $1,750 in prize money.

The video below is the first place team of Kyle Marsh, a recently graduated Mechanical Engineering student and Lauralee Kroll a junior Business major. Their Elevator Pitch dealt with the CPR Mattress which is currently being developed by a group of students called Tech Initiatives. Both Kyle and Lauralee are members of this student run company.
