Frequently asked questions
What must a Direct-to-Consumer Sustainable Fashion Business Plan contain?
An executive summary, the problem and your solution, market size, traction, the business model, the team, financial projections, and a specific funding ask with a use of funds and a milestone attached.
How long should it be?
Fifteen to twenty-five pages plus appendices. Investors read the summary and skim the rest, so front-load everything that matters.
What matters more, traction or projections?
Traction, by a distance. Revenue from paying customers outweighs any forecast, followed by signed letters of intent, then active users with a retention curve.
