I think you'll find the culture here to follow the idea that business plans are bullshit and you should spend your time on your product/service and customer service instead.

Just as agile software development has killed the big-design-up-front method of building software, starting businesses has thankfully followed suit.

If you're really successful, you get to write a book about how you did it, and then you can write what looks like your business plan, with the hindsight advantage ;)
