A US senator once conducted an experiment on just how much private information is accessible over the Internet. So, he instructed one of his staffs to steal his identity over the Internet. It turned out that his staff learned a lot more about his boss over the web compared to the years he has spent with him in work. He reported that the senators social security number information that should never be available online, could be accessed for $65.A group of students from John Hopkins University also made a related experiment. They gathered every bit and piece of data they could on the citizens of Baltimore and linked together all their collected databases. The result?

Consider these top questions which funders will ask themselves as they consider business plans to get into their mindset. How Can I Tell If the Market Exists?A funder cares deeply whether a market (and a large enough one) exists for the proposed product or service. They look to see if competitors and substitutes already exist, which proves to some extent that the business opportunity exists. Without this, they will look to research on customer needs, demographics and the industry to prove that there is room for a new product or service here. The more support an entrepreneur can provide in their business plan, the easier they make it for funders to do this leg work. How Can I Tell If the Strategy Will Work?Next, funders will wonder whether the chosen strategy for the business will work.
