+1 on this, big time.

As a technical guy who became funded & CEO now CTO, getting a business plan both is, and isn't, rocket science.

Ask yourself: what would an investor want to know?

They want to know how expensive to develop, time horizon, risks, possible positive outcomes.

That's all a business plan is. If you haven't answered this for yourself, or it's just a "feeling" not backed up by data, then you don't really know it.

Run this past your friends, people who will give you a straight answer.

The entrepreneurial spirit is taking the bull by the horns and wrestling, not saying "I'm not a business guy." Try it yourself.

If you try it yourself, and "fail", you'll learn the kind of business guy who adds value, then you can look intelligently and correctly.

If you try and succeed, well, there you are.
