We are an early-stage cloud computing web service startup seeking an experienced business consultant to help us develop:

The consultant will:
Develop a business plan outlining strategy, positioning, and structure
Conduct market opportunity and competitive analysis
Draft and structure an RFP to evaluate vendors/technology
Deliverables should be professional and clear, suitable for internal strategy and decision-making.
