I wouldn't waste a minute of time writing a business plan. If you want to throw together a 1-pager, or a quick "Business Plan" .ppt presentation, sure. Nothing beats product and traction. For the record, I've contacted thousands of VC's, spoken to hundreds, and closed none of them over the past 4 years. I have only once been asked for a business plan, and of the rest every one of them asked to see a demo.
