Saturday was a very interesting day - I was judging business plans at Startup @ Singapore 2008. S@S is a business plan competition that allows young entrepreneurs to put their bright ideas into a plan, and if its good - earn about $30,000 in prize money to get it started.

In this article, you’ll find overviews of all the business plans I judged, and my own tips for what makes a competition-winning business plan (Hint - the criteria is quite different from a successful business).

Actually, it wasn’t all that painful. Both my blogs have been dead for several months now. So, [...]
