Often, there may be a plan that someone nostalgically pulls from a shelf years later -- generally for a good laugh. Start-ups change almost daily and much like early financial models, start-up business plans have more "wrong than right" inside of them. If someone sincerely wanted a start-up business plan to be dynamic they would have to be updated almost weekly - and then they would really just be more a document for recording history than a planning tool.&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">how to sell beats</dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 27 Apr 2010 14:29:01 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Is The Business Plan Dead?</title><link>http://angelsoft.net/blog/2008/07/11/is-the-business-plan-dead/#comment-47001767</link><description>&lt;p&gt;In terms of planning the business, I challenge any entrepreneur who has succeeded to convince me that their business plan was really a living, useful document.

I do think planning is important and I think there are several dynamic tools that are useful for both running a company and raising funds. There is a pdf document on our website that is attached to the blog "why you shouldn't write a business plan" that you might find useful.&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Vacations in Israel</dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 20 Apr 2010 02:09:44 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Is The Business Plan Dead?</title><link>http://angelsoft.net/blog/2008/07/11/is-the-business-plan-dead/#comment-45253903</link><description>&lt;p&gt;In terms of fundraising, I've raised VC financing at least a dozen times and I've also invested as a VC. I've also raised funds from angels groups such as Tech Coast Angels and Pasadena Angels. I can honestly say that I have only been asked for a "business plan" once or twice (on both occasions by angel investors) and even on those occasions I wasn't pressed once I shared an alternative approach to planning.&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">adsense secret</dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 17 Apr 2010 04:18:00 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Is The Business Plan Dead?</title><link>http://angelsoft.net/blog/2008/07/11/is-the-business-plan-dead/#comment-45253592</link><description>&lt;p&gt;Angelsoft has a great concept.

I had one for my job and life. I have one for my business. When you want to lead a full life, a plan helps.
