Sorry didn't get time to blog in the morning (but did snap a picture of Jeff Cho and Ryan Glen with my phone camera). Perhaps this was due to the fact that it was only 7 am when we met for nice hot breakfast in the Ramin Parlour and blogging was not on my mind.
Pitches started soon after. Teams were divided into two sections of 6 teams each. In the first half of the morning, each team had to pitch Jet Blue. The section where I was sitting, the first team to go was Kellogg. They set the bar pretty high, in my opinion, making a buy recommendation.
In total there were 5 buys on Jet Blue and 1 sell (I believe it was Columbia that recommended sell). The quality of the pitches over all: impressive! The teams presented anonymously- so the judges and most the audience did not know which school was presenting.
The Cornell pitch, I thought was one of the best, if not THE best! May be a little biased. The second half of the morning is about to begin, where teams can choose to pitch any firm from with a sector of education stocks. Gotta get back in there...
