Meet a potential investor, donor, lender?
Here’s the first thing most will say:
“Interesting…
Do you have a summary business plan?!?”
“Yes! I do…”
One of our investors!
Congratulations, they’re interested!
But the next step could either make or break your deal…
Now that you have an investor’s attention, you’ll need a brief and very compelling summary business presentation they can take away to consider:
- Why your product?
- Why now?
- Why from you?
Your objective at this point is to get a meeting where you can present the bigger picture.
It’s the perfect support to or replacement for the lean business model canvas.
You may not require a full business plan yet.
But investors, donors, or lenders will want to see something in writing that inspires them to meet with you and discuss your deal further.
If your model is close and you’re ready to talk with investors, donors, or lenders, this is the right tool to use now.
Something that makes sense… and they’ll actually read

A Pre-Scripted and Pre-Formatted Summary Plan Template
Since investors, donors, and lenders get hundreds / thousands of business pitches, they can’t possibly read that many business plans, but if your initial conversation is intriguing, most are willing to read a couple of pages.
It better be good!
We make it easy to create that clean, tight 2-3 page, Executive Summary to get you going.
You can easily follow along and customize this pre-written and pre-formatted template.
As a BONUS, and to support you even further to raise capital, we added a guided 4-Step Online Course, created from years of experience helping people like you get funded quickly.
My first successful VC fundraising meeting was a success precisely because it wasn’t a pitch. I wasn’t trying to present my company in the best light possible. I wasn’t giving some highly rehearsed and excessively manicured presentation. Instead, I was having a real conversation about my company. We discussed what was working well and what wasn’t. I was able to demonstrate expertise by showing what I actually knew about my business rather than reciting prepared content. And, perhaps most importantly, I built a genuine connection with the person who was ultimately going to believe in me enough to invest in both me and my company. ~ Aaron Dinin, PhD Click to read his entire article here.
You’ll need some numbers
Simple, done-for-you Excel-based worksheet template…
What if you had a handy worksheet to first quickly test the “financial feasibility” of your concept?
We include this Excel® worksheet to help you play “what-if” with demand, prices, costs, profit… and an investment deal.
You’re competing for investors’, donors’, and lenders’ money so your numbers better look good and you must understand them!
Questions will be asked!
This is the quick, easy way to get started with a set of templates to prepare a brief 2-page business presentation summary.
It’s also designed to build your case from the bottom-up.
Too many entrepreneurs claim they’ll “…do a $ million in the first year…”
Investors, donors, or lenders want to see how you got here from there.
(For the tool that helps you really architect, analyze, model the numbers and prioritize the BIG PICTURE,
determine the capital you need, and how it pays back, use our BizPlanBuilder® software system. See below.)
“Dear Investor,
We met in the elevator…”

A nice cover letter…
Here’s where you can re-introduce yourself and your business.
Even describe your purposes for your business…
“What’s a nice person like you doing in a business like this?”
This often indicates to investors, donors, or lenders that you have the additional drive to make it a success.
We advise a healthy blend of “mercenary” (in it for the money) and the “missionary” (in it to do good!) as a successful combination of mindsets to build a successful business.
