The first thing young entrepreneurs learn about getting funded is that you need an 'elevator pitch'. They aren't told that they need to conceive an entire 'building' within which to put the elevator. The words elevator and building are somewhat misleading in this analogy, since the first came from defining a potential investor's attention span. The analogy works better applied to the internet using highways or networks and intending to build, say, Grand Central Station.</p> <p>Vera</p> Great post.

Cept, where do you go with your price since it's already a Lite price? Maybe get Mark Andreessen to endorse it, charge more, and tout its time-saving ability?</p> Looks like it might be time for "Business Plan Lite".
