It is a exhaustive list of 'must read' entrepreneurship related resources (like startup news, stories, product videos, related books, startup jobs, etc...) updated daily for startupper minded individuals. Initially, this was a site which I have been using to bookmark startup and related resources for the last few few years. This service can sure as a similar tool for 'like minded' risk takers and wealth creators.

Your genetic tolerance for risk—coupled with new productivity gains through smart technology—can help your company revolutionize its industry.
UK tech investors that avoid the seed stage are going to be losing out on the most exciting investment opportunities after Facebook goes public. A $100bn IPO will create an incredible pool of seed money that will be showered onto willing entrepreneurs, says Rodolfo Rosini.
Based on the title of this post you might be thinking I have mad stacks of money in the bank. That I’ve had a few “exits” and instead of hunkering down and writing code for 6 months I opted to talk to a few of my buddies at the yacht club and purchase a primed and growing social network for somewhere in the mid-seven figures.
In the wide world of startups, we mostly like to think of ourselves as go-getters, ass kickers, “in all the way” sorts. We also like to think of ourselves as tinkerers, rapid iterators who test unceasingly. But the combination of those two traits can lead to one of the most dangerous cycles in startup - half measure syndrome (HMS).
Two users. That’s it. It had been a week since we had announced to friends and family our latest idea, LinkFalcon, and only two of them had bothered to try it. I thought LinkFalcon had some real potential. It solved a real problem for me and one that I hoped others had. Complete disaster. Failure. Six months down the drain. Back to our real jobs.
That “some suggestions” became a full page and that full page became a monster that had almost no free white space left. It was so full of stuff we did, it was ludicrous. It was dark like the night and microscribbled as if I hated that poor moleskine page. My message at the panel was simple: “Don’t be a first time founder…” – or at least not the kind of first time founder I used to be ;)

These are the latest high-tech migrants to Silicon Valley, in their 20s and fresh out of college, drawn by a surge in start-ups and investment money that in the last year and a half has created more jobs than companies can fill, and eager to help shape the technology that infuses their lives.
A simple template for idea/product prioritization. You want to go for the dot that is at the very top right. Often in product brainstorming you get many ideas that are very attractive and a no-brainer. The key is how do you choose the one that is best for the company.
For startups, it is dangerous to entirely separate product and marketing – both strategically and organizationally. A great product isn’t overly useful without an audience. And a great marketing strategy can’t save a poor product. Product and marketing have to coexist.
