ePlan is an upgraded alternative to
paper business plans utilizing cutting-edge,
digital-media technology to record entrepreneurs’
presentations. ePlan presentations can be
made available to investors anytime, anywhere.
ePlan presentations are also burned onto
mini-CD’s with electronic copies of an
entrepreneur’s business plan and executive
summary.
Entrepreneurs go
beyond the black-and-white by infusing your
personality into your business plan, reach more
investors in a timely, cost-effective, and
high-impact manner. An ePlan package
includes a one and half-hour recording session in
WAN’s studio with on-the-spot expert advice from
WAN helping you tailor your pitch and financing
strategies to early-stage investors. Click here to
learn
more.
Investors get to know
the entrepreneurs and their businesses in less
time than it takes to flip through a business
plan. At your leisure, sit back and watch
entrepreneurs give their company overview. WAN
investor-members have instant access to
ePlan presentations through the
Deal-flow
Pipeline.

Like
many great ideas, it emerged from a problem.
Neighbors Dean Forss and Eric Antonson loved to
escape to the outdoors. But, never wanting to go
the same place twice, they found planning each new
trip to be a tedious task. “When we traveled we
wanted to do it high class but it was such a chore
to get real detailed information. Trips would take
six to eight weeks to plan,” said Antonson, vice
president of U.S. Trailmaps Inc. Read
