Thank you again for being an Earth Deeds advisor, your time and advice means a huge amount to us.

Previously you had expressed interest in reviewing our business plan when the time was right. Well now is the time! We very soon be approaching investors and want to offer them as solid a business plan as possible.

If you can, please review the plan by Monday, April 22nd – Earth Day.  Please review it from the lens of an investor, that is who this document is intended for and we want it to be as appealing as possible to socially responsible investors.

It is a GoogleDoc and you should be able to share comments directly on the document, but you’re also welcome to share your thoughts via email, phone, or in the comments section of a large check ;-).

You can access the business plan here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1tDpYho7FO1SOmqby-yfKzEaXb9bjpaf5dmn0Ecn1mnU/edit?usp=sharing

If you prefer to have us send you a copy as a PDF, let us know.

Any and all feedback is most welcome … and … here are a few questions we have:

• On a scale of 1-10 (10 is best), how would you rate Earth Deeds as an investment?  Why?
• What do you find most inspiring/intriguing about the plan?
• Do you have any concerns about the plan?
• What would make the plan better?
• What about staffing?  Are we missing key positions or can we delay others?
• If you were (or are!) a potential investor, how do the Financials look to you?
• Investors expect a way they will eventually recoup and profit from their investment.  Would you be satisfied by our “Exit Strategy” section?  If not, what more would you like to see?
• Is there anything you think is missing from this plan?

If you have limited time to review it please skim quickly through the first 32 pages and take a closer look at the personnel plan, financials, exit strategy, and conclusion.

Thanks so very much for your help!  Feel free to email us if you have questions about the process and/or would prefer to share your feedback via a call or meeting.  And just a reminder, please do not share this plan with others without our explicit consent.  Thanks!

Take care and Shanti and I look forward to hearing from you.
