Lunch & Learn: Business Plans | Think, Plan, Test & Rethink your Approach

Presented by Jeremy Halpern, Nutter McClennen & Fish LLP

Business plans today are like vodka.  They are hard to consume in quantity, but more importantly they are the distillation, the essence, of months or years of thinking about how to solve a problem in a marketplace in a sustainable and scalable way.
