The Business Plan Archive has been growing strongly since the bust. The site is devoted to build an extensive archive to reflect the times between 1996 and 2001 but does so without the often found "Schadenfreude". Some of the documents are helpful so you might want to check it out.

It now features:

"1. Basic metadata on over 2,200 companies, most of which are no longer operating. We do not have business plans for all of these companies, but we do at least have a record of their existence. If you were involved in a dot com company, and it's not in our database, please come to the site, and tell us about it, regardless of whether or not you have specific business planning documents related to the firm. If you find a company that's listed, but for which we have only metadata, feel free to add your own recollections and experiences to the collection."

"2. Business planning documents from over 900 companies. If you search by "documents available" from the main archive search page, hundreds of executive summaries and other related documents are now available. Within this group, multiple documents are available for more than 600 companies. In most of these cases, a full copy of the business plan has been submitted to the Archive, but we may not have received approval to release the full plan for public access. Again, if you find a company that you were involved in, and you can either grant us authority to release the plan or put us in touch with someone else who can, please do so. Alternately, simply tell us what you think. What additional perspectives and documents are missing?"

"3. Sample In Depth Case Studies. We have one deeper archival collection currently available, and several more in the works. These collections demonstrate the potential to use the Business Plan Archive to richly document the existence of dot com ventures, from business plan to IPO, sale or dissolution and to allow participants to add their own materials and perspectives to the company history. If you are interested in developing a deeper account of a firm with which you were affiliated, let us know, and we may be able to help."
