Glen Cove Students Compete in Rapid-Fire Business Pitch Contest

Glen Cove High School students recently went up against other students in a rapid-fire business pitch contest at a Business and Entrepreneur Leadership Conference at LIU Post.

Senior Michael Hatala delivered the pitch for Glen Cove High School and won second place for the Glen Cove firm, Click-n-Shop Groceries.

The students in Judith Checola’s Virtual Enterprise class were among more than 50 Visual Enterprise students from New York City and Long Island competing in the Speed Networking contest.

The students gathered on stage of the Tilles Center and each delivered his or her strongest rapid-fire business pitch to the 1,000 students and teachers in attendance.

The pitch, often referred to as an elevator pitch, aims to intrigue potential customers and partners from across the Visual Enterprise marketplace and generate future business for their company.
