Submitting a business plan

Send your business plan via e-mail to mail@dfj.com, or mail to:

Draper Fisher Jurvetson

2882 Sand Hill Road, Suite 150

Menlo Park, CA 94025

It may take several weeks for us to get back to you because we review all submissions.

Your business plan should contain the following information:

1. Investment size and structure requested
2. Description of the product or service
3. Brief history of the company
4. Business and marketing strategy
5. Analysis of the market and the competition
6. Full resumés of key management (highlighting industry and market expertise)
7. Current financial statements and projections

Your plan should be a working document for the company, used in long-term planning, and not simply a sales tool for fund-raising.

Note: We do not sign NDAs. We receive so many plans each week that if we were to sign every NDA request, we would quickly be swamped with legal documents. Our reputation depends on our professionalism and our ability to maintain the trust of the entrepreneurs with whom we work. We will take care to keep your materials confidential.
