Re:What to do when an investor asks for your "Business Plan" by ojbyrne on Saturday September 03, 2011 @03:34AM (#2956774)
The basic components of a business plan are often in people's pitch deck:

- description of the market

- description of your product

- competition

- your plan for the next 12-18 months

- burn rate and runway

- team

You can probably just flesh them out (which might not be much more than having a word document with paragraphs and sentences instead of a powerpoint document with bullet points) and satisfy a significant proportion of investors.
