>For many innovations for underserved markets, writing a business 
>plan is a key step. Business plans are great at highlighting how to 
>generate profits using market forces, whether the profits return to 
>the innovator or remain in the community. During this 2-hour 
>workshop taught by veteran technology innovator and entrepreneur 
>Catherine Merrill, we will walk through the traditional sections of 
>a business plan, exploring how each helps convey the power an 
>innovation has to change a community. This workshop will help IDEAS 
>teams and anyone starting a new project to use the traditional 
>business plan as a tool to induce others to invest resources in 
>their innovation.
