Vancouver’s Mike Volker is a legend in BC technology and he isn’t slowing down.

He is presently the director of Simon Fraser University’s Innovation Office, President and Chairman of Greenangel Energy Corp, President of the Western Universities Technology Innovation Fund (WUTIF), and runs the Vancouver Angel Network (VANTEC).

And now Volker’s book titled Making the Business Case is available in e-book format and downloadable for free online.

Do you have an idea for a business? This book will help you to determine how to go about turning your idea into reality and cash. More importantly, though, as a first step it will help you determine if the idea is even worth pursuing in the first place. To get partners and investors, you must make a business case. This means having the answers to some tough questions, the most important question being: How will your idea make money? You will also learn how to best communicate your idea using an effective Executive Summary and a well-honed elevator pitch.
