In today's episode, Anna looks at why you need to write a business plan, what it looks like, and how to use it effectively.
Specifically, there are a few formats that are particularly widely used, that you might want to consider:
(1) VC firm Sequoia's guide, which starts with your purpose and moves on to the problem you're solving and your proposed solution;
(2) Alex Osterwalder's one-page business model canvas; and(3) Ash Maurya's adapted lean canvas, more suited to smaller start-ups.
And I have my own adapted version that I use with my clients.
