    Assignment 5: Summary Memo

    Due by 10 a.m. May 6

    A summary memo is a 2-5 page document that you could present to a potential investor — or, in the case of this class, to the selection committee for the Quest for Edventure contest — describing the venture. It should summarize the business opportunity,  the strategy, the market, the business model, startup costs, funding plan, and initial basic numbers.

    It should be emailed to me as an attachment to an email, either a BPDX file or a PDF file.

    For more on this, read pages 228-233 of the plan as you go book. Or you can click here for the online version of the same thing.

    And yes, we do have a time bind on this one. Ideally, it would come as the last assignment before the full plan, after you’ve done the startup costs and profit projection. Unfortunately, we need to get this done sooner because you’ll want it to prepare your submission for the contest.

      Is this assignment almost a combination of all previous ones minus the details?
