Why Startups should NOT write a Business Plan

Why Startups should NOT write a Business Plan

A relatively common question we get revolves around business plans. A good amount of our customers asks us if we can write a business plan for them, and we always respectfully decline. In this video, we are going to look into why the business plan is an outdated way to approach starting a business, and how new frameworks like The Lean Startup are a much more effective way to build companies.

For the longest time I didn’t like writing business plans.That changed once I realized how to write up a business plan that worked for me. From there on, I couldn’t wait to write up my business plan for the following year.

So today we’re going to talk about two different types of business plans.

The Airbnb Pitch Deck that raised $500K in 2009

The Airbnb Pitch Deck that raised $500K in 2009

Airbnb’s original pitch deck from 2009 has become one of the most sought-after references for new entrepreneurs. It was one of the first pitch decks from unicorn companies to be released publicly, and it got a lot of media attention. 

Most importantly, it’s a great pitch deck. It’s short, and to the point, it hits all the high notes, and most importantly, it perfectly paints the picture of the business. We are going to tear this pitch deck down, slide by slide. 

The look of the slides is… very 2000’s, so we took the liberty of redesigning it using Slidebean’s AI design system.
