When your business plan seems like candid camera!

July 17, 2008

Have I mentioned that I get more than my fair share of business plans and executive summaries each day?  Recently I got a business plan that caused me to look over my shoulder and ask if I was on candid camera. OMG!  It was the craziest thing I had ever read.  I can’t share any of it with you because the person who sent it would immediately know I was talking about their plan.  My question is simple: how can I explain how I feel about the ‘idea’ without pissing the entrepreneur off.  Of course this is going to be the next Google I am sure - i.e. I am the worst predictor of startup success.  Anyway, I would love some thoughts, comments or experiecne from you guys on how to encourage the entrepreneur without inadvertantly suggesting I liked his idea.  Thanks…
