- Have you written a business plan?
- Are you in the process of writing one?
- Do you have a great vision for a business but are unsure how to begin preparing a biz plan?
- Are you interested in participating in the business plan competition?
On October 29th the Entrepreneurship and Venture Capital Club hosted the "How-To: Business Plans" workshop in Sage Parlor. Beyond the free food and drinks, this event included presentations by a great panel of faculty speakers, and each person in attendance received a free license for the Palo Alto's Business Plan Pro software ($200 value). Its nice that companies like to give free stuff to MBAs.
As part of the workshop I shared with students the great resources that we have here at the Johnson School Library: http://guides.library.cornell.edu/businessplans. Our school subscribes to multiple databases that for an individual would cost thousands of dollars. For example, one industry report from S&P costs $695 - and as students we have access to all of them!
...I'm not sure where I'll get access to these great databases when I graduate.
