Post a RequestExecutive Summary Definition
Executive summary – n : a two- to five-page write-up describing a company for the purposes of whetting the appetite of potential investors, key recruits and/or strategic partners. An executive summary is a highly-distilled version of the business plan or investor presentation that tells your company’s story in very few words (and pictures or diagrams). A strong executive summary should briefly address the following topics (similar to the topical coverage for your investor presentation):
b) the
stage of company development (e.g., “…incorporated in
having
demonstrable product prototype by [date]…”);
c) the
target market/customers;
d) the
customers’ unmet need, and how they are addressing that need today;
e) your
company’s proposed solution to that unmet need (product and/or service);
f)
competition and your competitive differentiation (how your solution is
demonstrably better,
g)
established strategic alliances;
h)
management team;
i)
financial summary (results to-date and forecast out at least 3 years);
j)
capitalization (invested capital to-date) and amount of capital the company is
current hoping to raise.
