Submitting a Plan for Funding

*Submitting a Plan for Funding
*

Prior to submitting your company for funding, you should create the following documents:

1. Executive Summary: About two pages long. This is usually sufficient for an initial
   submission. The venture capitalist will ask for other documents if they decide to proceed.
2. Business Plan: Up to 30 pages long. Most venture capitalists will ask to see a copy of
   your business plan.
3. Resumes: Keep them to one page if possible. Venture capitalists like to see resumes for
   all members of your key management team.
4. Financial Projections: Make sure these are realistic and explicitly describe the
   assumptions supporting the model.
5. Capitalization Table: Describes the current ownership of the company, including number
   of shares and percentage. Include the employee option pool in this calculation.
