@alexchudik Wow, this looks fantastic. I didn't get a chance to try the product, but from a marketing perspective you guys nailed it. Great domain name, beautiful home page, and clear description of the product. Congrats to you and your team, really nicely done.
Alex Chudik
@kleneway thanks Kevin!

@alexchudik & @wilschroter looks great, amazing addition to the startups.co platform of products
Margaret McGraw
@alexchudik darn, I didn't see the 50% off code before I signed up today, but I'll use it for next month. So far I'm impressed and it's making my job of putting together a pitch for a new venture easier! Thanks

@alexchudik I absolutely agree. The website looks great. Now let's see if it works.
Eugene Kruglov
Is that just Knowlium but with different landing page? All screenshots look very much the same.
Ted
@tahorg indeed, checked their page, very much the same, the graphs, the "Revenue Forecaster" is completely the same
Eugene Kruglov
@goofernator1 exactly!
Chris Davis
@tahorg White-labeled maybe?
Eugene Kruglov
@imchrisdavis I honestly don't know. But the fact pricing is absolutely identical made me thought they are same products.
Wil Schroter
@tahorg @imchrisdavis We worked with the Knowlium team on this because we loved the Knowlium product. Knowlium, however, is still its own product/company/brand.

That beautiful feeling when you find the perfect product you weren't looking for. Bless you, sir.

@wilschroter sounds great. I think a sandbox area would be great. At least enough to discover it's value.
Nikola Novakovic
@wilschroter @startups I would definitely like to try it out. Will shoot you an email!
Klajdi Turlla
@wilschroter @startups That's awesome. Would love to give this a try for developing business plans for products as well
Tristan Pollock
Fantastic modular approach to business planning. My favorite feature is the automatic financial projections ;)
Shalin TJ
@wilschroter Would love to know why you decided upon monthly pricing? Very often, business plans are required initially and then for months you don't look at them.. Compare that with something like Business Model Canvas or may be Javelin Board.. where may be the need is relatively more frequent for the first couple of months of a startup.
Wil Schroter
@shalinjain27 This is a great question. We're not set on monthly pricing, we just started there. We also would like to explore how we can offer the product for free but we have to get a little more data on how folks are using it before we do that. Given the mission of Startups.co to help founders start companies, we are looking for different ways to minimize the barrier to entry to getting started. So we're thinking critically about how pricing works.
KerryBodle
@wilschroter you could offer a one time free session that allows the customer to complete a biz plan. Then maybe charge per revision. I know my biz plan changed quite a bit as the model played out. Once the initial work is completed, it would be an easy sell for me.
Collin Davis
@wilschroter free trial would get you through core steps then paid plan could unlock additional features (e.g. Printing). Monthly or Unlimited (one-time) pricing could be beneficial? Great product! Can't wait to try it.
Wil Schroter
@lumbadoja we'd really like to figure out how to make the product as free as possible.

I was initially very excited to use Bizplan. As a founder, I would much rather be working on tasks that directly impact the success of the business, not accounting. However, when I started using this platform, it seems to be very poorly designed. It's very buggy.

The very first page broke and I had to manually change an HTTP request to get by. Finally it asked me to upgrade to premium, even though I was already a premium user. I started to enter some financial data and it kept failing to save, or closing out on me.

Beyond the bugs, the design of the platform is sub-par. It's not overly easy to navigate and could certainly be described as confusing.

All-in-all, I would not recommend BizPlan to my greatest competitor/enemy. Avoid this product at all costs.

Pros:

It looks nice

Cons:

Very buggy and not a lot of functionality
