Welcome to the Business Plan Archive, a research database for researchers interested in studying high-tech entrepreneurship in the Dot Com Era and beyond.

Launched in June 2002 as a public repository for records of firms founded to commercialize the internet from the mid-1990s on, the Business Plan Archive permitted open access to a selection of business plans and related planning documents until December 2007. More than 80,000 users from over 100 countries registered to take advantage of this resource during the five plus years it was available to the public.

Beginning in 2008, public access is no longer allowed. The Business Plan Archive now supports non-commercial academic research and education only. All users must submit a proposal to the Archive administrator that will be reviewed for academic merit. If accepted, users will be required to sign a research agreement with the Archive specifying the terms of use.

If you would like to submit an application to access the Business Plan Archive or if you have historical materials that you would like to donate to the Archive, please contact the Director, Prof. David Kirsch at .
