The Business Plan is Dead?

Raising capital is a competitive situation in any arena, couple that with a new economy that operates at light speed and technology that can make an idea obsolete, the days of the 80-page business plans are over.

Based on his experience raising millions of dollars for various business ventures, African American venture capitalist Jeff Wofford offers his invaluable knowledge for "fund" raising in the new book, The Business Plan Is Dead: How to Raise Capital in the New Economy.

He skillfully guides experienced entrepreneurs who want to start a business or those that need more capital on what's important to focus on within their business plan.

He comments, "Raising capital is a competitive proposition. Your new economy business plan will help build a concise compelling story. Traditional business plans are long-winded, no longer used and frankly irrelevant for raising startup capital."

The book is available at Amazon.com and BarnesandNoble.com

  2. Dante has definitely highlighted the essence of the book. As you see the current economy in distress, there as still opportunities as an Entrepreneur to start a business.

    In growing economies, companies look at new segments to launch additional products and services. In declining economies, companies look at ways to cut cost and reduce spend.

    Definitely, look at the M&N model to assist in creating your Executive Investment Presentation.

    I appreciate the recommendation and Enjoy the book.

    God Bless,
