			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Recently I&#8217;m involved in advising entrepreneurs how to prepare to get funding for their projects and business ideas. Well this is not a new subject at all. A lot has been written on it. Still &#8211; in order to get a clear idea of how you need to communicate your business idea I walk along the mindmap below. It serves like a breviary. And as always it will evolve. <em>(a pity that mindmeister doesn&#8217;t provide rss-updates yet)</em><br />
