What Venture Capitalists Say About Our Business Plans"I probably see five to ten business plans a week. Frankly, most aren't ready for the big leagues. Cayenne's work, on the other hand, is consistently excellent. They figured out the formula. They make it easier for investors to quickly see the value in a company. Now that startup activity is picking up, investors have more to choose from. It's more important than ever for a business plan to make the right first impression." - Harry George, Solstice Capital "Consultants almost never do a good job on this kind of work because they don't take the time to really understand the business. Cayenne was exactly the opposite. They were like a member of the management team. When the plan was done, I circulated it among the other Partners here at Veritas as an example of what a business plan should look like." - Gideon Tolkowsky, Veritas Venture Partners Why (Most) Business Plans Don't Get FundedYour business plan is very often the first impression potential investors get about your venture.
