Answer 4

SWOT is a shortcut version of a basic feasibility analysis to typically save a venture capitalist's time when reading through hundreds of ideas/businesses. It stands for Strengths, Weakness, Opportunities & Threats. It is meant to provide a snapshot of the "playing field" for the deal which is then used to help determine superficial feasibility of the idea in a relatively quick manner. I use it for our 1st level due diligence to determine if an idea warrants any further time. It is NOT used in and of itself to decide to go forward with an idea or not. Think of it like a battlefield. What weapons do we have (Strengths), how can we be killed (weaknesses), who can we kill (opportunities), who can kill us (threats)?
