However, the submission form is pretty generic, so my opinion is that gross margins, 3 year insight and that other stuff is more something they hope to see rather than something they demand. In any case, it's worth a go because I've heard loads of good feedbacks about last year's Plugg. Have you guys seen this?

I'm not saying you shouldn't plan for profit but so many entrepreneurs I talk to seem to concentrate so much on trying to copy the 'success' of the non-revenue generating start-ups they see that they do forget about margins and concentrate on traction.
