Step 3: Analyze the market 分析市場情況

Stick to who, what, why, where, when, and how, like a good reporter, to keep the information succinct and pertinent.

Step 7: Forecast scenarios 預(yù)測未來的各個環(huán)節(jié)
Forecast financial scenarios for procurement, investment returns, and cash management. Provide an exit strategy that relies on historical and financial data.
Add one-page bios with summaries of accomplishments of the founders, central players, and key management.
