    Akira Hirai and Carl Schramm



    Akira Hirai is the founder and CEO of Cayenne Consulting. He has over 20 years of experience in entrepreneurship. Akira started two Internet companies in Silicon Valley. He has also held various management positions in New York at Salomon Brothers and Vice President of Fixed Incomes Derivatives Trading. Akira also earned his BA in Engineering Sciences from Harvard University. Akira has definitely earned his ranks for respect as an expert when it comes to writing business plans. When it comes to business planning, Akira shows most of his focus on financial forecasting and capital formation. He believes that these two aspects of business plans are key to success when pitching to investors. It goes without saying, incorrect financial forecasting could destroy your company very quickly. In addition to financial forecasting, not knowing how to acquire the capital to launch your business will definitely hamper your dreams of being entrepreneur as well. Akira is definitely the guy to speak to when it comes to the financial characteristics of a business plan.

    Carl Schramm is a University Professor at Syracuse. He is also co-author of Better Capitalism: Renewing the Entrepreneurial Strength of theAmerican Economy. "Carl believes that if America does not have enough entrepreneurs, it is because society has failed" (Bhasin, 2012). Teaching the basics of business is what Carl truly believes. “The world needs more entrepreneurs, they make innovation real and advance” (Schramm, 2012). “When teaching, Schramm believes in offering a curriculum founded upon practical, real-world lessons” (Orcutt, 2013). Schramm is most definitely a guru when it comes to the entrepreneurial side of business. If I could use his services, I would be humbled to have him review my business plan. After reviewing more writings from Schramm I have decided to just show a video instead of making going on a tangent about how much of an expert Schramm is.
