Business Plans Suck
Just a thought… If I wanted to spend my day writing business plans that included such terms as "projected sales revenue splits" and "pricing strategy in year 1, 2, and 3" then I’d have gone to freaking BUSINESS SCHOOL, INSTEAD OF BEING A KICK-ASS PUBLICIST.
It’s NOT MY FAULT that I’ve come up with one of the most brilliant ideas in the world and three VC’s want to give me money. If they want to give me money that badly, why the hell aren’t THEY writing the damn financial projections?
Rant over. Have a good weekend.

Well, then Peter, don’t come up with any more brilliant ideas! What’s that saying, “If you can’t do the plans, don’t do the ideas.”
Okay, so there’s really no such saying
I can help. In the future, if — excuse me, when — you have any more brilliant ideas that one or more VCs might be interested in, pass them my way. I’ll send you a 0.5% brilliant idea check once I get my first VC check. Deal?

Peter, Glad to hear that things are going well. Maybe you should outsource the business plan to an enterprising Stern student.
If a bad day consists of fighting off VC reps, you’ve got it good, Peter.
