It wasn't really an official thing, but I'm doing this business plan for my consulting company (information security), and this business professor takes a look at it and we discuss about it and he teaches me stuff. The idea is, that the plan should be realistic, as in if I take this to possible venture capitalists, bank or who ever, the plan itself is good. Then of course, we have been talking about .. it's not like the idea is the key here, because that's not the point, the point is to make the idea into a business plan and it should be a real one and it should be a good one.
Seems like I don't know lots of things about business plans. Man, every single thing was demolished. I have only written down few things, let's say about 10% now. I'm not even up to the part where we go numbers, just the owners, business model, background, vision, stuff like that. The only thing he liked was the vision. We didn't touch it at all, we might have to tone it down a bit and kind of ... in the next 5 years some of them things aren't to be expected.
So anyway, the big beef was with the name of the company. I couldn't come up with anything good, so I just went through some latin words, like you do when you are not creative.
So I actually left the name as a joke. I got some good names (IMO), but I left a joke there. My company was called Atrocitas Security Consulting (ACS). He said is this supposed to mean that you want to be associated with attrocities? I said, well, yes. We are fierce.
He didn't get it. I was ashamed. Never joke with strangers.
