Jim -

Nice interview with some pretty great analogies. I particularly appreciate you sharing your insight as to which sections of Biz Plans you focus on prior to a funding decision. I guess I'd be surprised if the average focus of time on the various sections of biz plan creation by the entrepreneurs matched up with what you really care about. Maybe if more startup teams knew what the VC's were looking for, the plans could be more focused and impactful?!?

Thanks for sharing.
