HBS Entrepreneur Panel Follow Up

Published by Matt at 10:32 pm under Ideas & Tools, About Investors, Raising Capital

I sat on a panel today, “Business Pitches that Hook Investors”. It seems all of the panelists took the position that you should skip the long process of writing a business plan (at least as a fundraising tool). Several people in the audience asked for a copy of my presentation, you can find it in a previous blog post: Why You Shouldn’t Write a Business Plan.

As a side note, I will be giving a longer version of this presentation along with some new material at the Tech Coast Venture Network meeting this Thursday, May 22nd. Details of the event are at www.tcvn.com.

    Dear Matt,

    I am an attendee of yesterday’s HBSAOC Entrepreneur’s Conference and listened in on the session in Business Pitches that Hook Investors. A little background about myself. I am currently a Ph.D student in computer science studying at UC Irvine. I really like the powerpoint slides you described and have since visited this blog and downloaded the presentation to take a look further. Thank you so much for your helpful thoughts!

    A Future Technologist Entrepreneur,
    Rex
