Believe this needs to be extended to daily operational activities as well, wherein the jargon overbears the fact. Hi Sanjay,

Unless, of course, you sought explicit permission from the startups. Did you? Buzzword or not, frankly I don’t think it’s ethical to publish extracts from business plans that were submitted to you.
