Project update

• It is important to be wrapping up the first draft
  SOON. DO NOT wait until the last minute to do
  this.
• At this point, you should have a good cash budget
  over at least 3 and probably 5 years, and that
  will give you an idea of the amount of and type
  of financing you will need.
• Use that information to start writing the
  financial plan and strategy to cover the funding
  needs for the company.
