10.1 Read the following words of a practitioner and express your own opinion on the kind of Summary you may use in your Business plan.

“A good Executive Summary gives me a sense of why this is an interesting venture. I look for a very clear statement of their long-term mission, an overview of the people, the technology, and the fit to market. Answer these questions: “What is it? Who’s going to build it? Why will anyone buy it?” if to paraphrase the movie Field of Dreams, we want to know, “if we fund it, will they (buyers) come?”

Ann Winblad, Venture Capitalist
