<title>Ideas and Thoughts from Winter Street VC and Entrepreneur : A written business plan does not get you venture capital</title>
<link>http://www.startable.com/2009/04/13/written-business-plan-does-not-get-venture-capital/#IDComment18694778</link>
<description>This is a great post. I have mixed feelings about writing out a full business plan. I do agree with you that it probably does not have a huge influence as far as getting the attention of VCs is concerned, but I believe the mere exercise of going through the thought processes needed to write a plan is where the true value is.   All of the discovery found during the business plan process is what enables you to confidently approach VCs.   </description>
