Need a venture capital business plan? Venture capitalists are universally recognized as some of the most discerning and critical reviewers out there, so you will need a document that is as close to perfect as possible. VC firms receive hundreds of business plans every week, but give serious consideration to only a very small percentage. Your concept has to fit inside their portfolio, your ROI needs to accord with their internal criteria, and the market opportunity needs to be clear and compelling. Your plan will need an integrated, assumptions-driven set of financial projections covering a five-year period post start-up. It should also anticipate the questions most commonly posed by venture capitalists:
• - How will you out perform your chief competitors?
• - What are the competitive advantages you wield?
• - What is the market need for this service?
• - Are there parallel/vertical markets that could lead to greater revenues over time?
• - What does the management team look like and what gaps must you fill?
• - When does break-even occur and what equity scenario do you envision?
• - How does your projected IRR compare to other recent ventures in this industry?
This is just a start. The venture capitalist business plan must cover every contingency and yet be as concise and readable as possible – VC firms will NOT tolerate 100-page rambling plans, nor will they humor 5-page overview documents that make no attempt to quantify the opportunity or project a return on investment.
