You can create a business plan in minutes in the AI age. But is it any better or more believable than one created pre-AI? The biggest fault with business plans depends on templates, faulty assumptions, and not focusing on the problem you are trying to solve before using the tools. This session will discuss the key factual and estimated elements, e.g. revenue, needed in the plan. It will also discuss the benefits and deficiencies in using AI tools. While AI can generate a nice story is it one that can be implemented or funded? Remember, it is your money and bankability that is at risk if a fairytale is followed.
