business plan surgery

Filed in archive Entrepreneurship on July 23, 2004

Russell had a wonderful idea recently - why don't we initiate a "Business Plan Surgery" at Creative Weblogging?


We do!


The "Business Plan Surgery" is designed to give expert feedback for your very own business idea - for free.


Here is how it works:

• You are a early stage company in the process of finalizing your business plan or looking for investment or you are already in business for less than 6 months.


• You may send in your business plan to us and get a review from our experts and as far as feasible from myself too. We will focus on the viability of the business model and the biggest challenges for your business from our point of view.


• We guarantee you full confidentiality just the author of the respective weblog (RFID, Mobile Technology, SEO, Outsourcing, Social Software) and myself will take a look inside your executive summary. What we want to do however is to nominate a TOP 5 after August 31st. For this list of the TOP 5 we would like to present an abstract of your business model (2-3 sentences) to our blog audience.


• What is your benefit? First of all you get an expert opinion on your business plan which in turn reduces your risk. Additionally our weblogs are read by a wide range of technology experts, business angels and some VCs. So with some luck our nomination will bring in investment.


• What does it cost? Nothing.


• Isn't it risky to give my "secret idea" to other people? - Not really as Seth Godin would say "...an idea needs light and oxygen much like a plant" to survive. You should feed it, ideas in the dark basement will most likely die.


• What do I have to do? Please send your executive summary to my mail adress bplan@tjacobi.com and we take it from there.
