Bplans.com Palo Alto Software
 
 

Welcome

I’m president and founder of Palo Alto Software, founder of bplans.com, co-founder of Borland International, author of books and software on business planning, Stanford MBA, father of five, married 40 years.

I love Twitter. Business Week recently included me as one of its top 20 entrepreneurs to follow on twitter. And the New York Times included me as number six in the top 11 companies to follow on twitter. I’m proud of that. I’m @timberry on Twitter. Follow me, please.

This site is mainly about switching you over to my blogs. There’s a feed to the right that includes recent posts on the two blogs I do by myself. And here are the links too, with graphics:

First, Planning Startups Stories, my main blog:

Second, my Up and Running blog on entrepreneur.com:

Up and Running

Aside from those two, I also post occasionally on Small Business Trends, the Business in General (BIG) blog, and on Huffington Post.

I also write a monthly column on entrepreneur.com, and I’ve written a lot of articles on bplans.com.

My new book The Plan-As-You-Go Business Plan is out now, published by Entrepreneur Press, distributed by McGraw-Hill. It’s available at Amazon.com, Barnes and Noble, and Borders. I also co-authored a second book titled 3 Weeks to Start, which is also available on Amazon.com, Barnes and Noble, and Borders.

I taught BA410: New Business Planning at the University of Oregon for 11 years during Spring quarter. The last time was Spring of 2009. Since then I’ve become so involved in the Willamette Angel Conference that I’ve decided to spend my extra time in the Spring on that instead of teaching. Change is good. For 2010 I’m chairing the investor group.
