The purpose is primarily to convince investors to ask for more information, and to convince them that your venture is worth pursuing. Creating an executive summary is a matter of craftsmanship and experience combined with the knowledge of the investor’s goals and thought process.

They are very busy investing in many different companies and typically only need five minutes to determine their stance on whether to invest or not. The executive summary is a summary of the business plan and marketing proposal packaged in a contextually and visually appealing way.
