Know What You Don’t Know – Jon Oberholzer, Golden Triangle Angel Network

“Yes you need business plans and those sorts of things but anyone who’s been in these industries knows a lot of those business plans is less about the plan, because the plan will be garbage within, you know, 30 days to six months… Because things change, it’s more the thought process that you went into in developing the plan in the first place. So it’s the process of creating the plan that demonstrates to an investor whether you’re a serious person or whether you know you have weaknesses in certain areas of your your team or yourself as a CEO or a founder.”
