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.

First of all, I'd like to thank the author for having the guts to write this out, some of it is really painful and he's quite the man to stand up like this in front of large community and speak his mind. That alone marks him as someone that will one day make it big.
The journey from the corporate world to the startup world might seem simple to some. There’s no reason you can’t take what you learned working at a successful, established company, apply it to your startup and expect the same results, right? Wrong. Entrepreneurs who come from a corporate setting need to “unlearn” what has been ingrained in their brain for so long, or they risk putting their...
It’s almost exactly a year since I started documenting my startup lessons learned through this blog, and since my first post last November, I’ve blogged 26 times. I’ve been lucky enough to have fantastic comments on many of my posts, and this has always extended my learning even further by hearing others’ experiences and insights.
I have a confession. I love our customers but, in general, I hate startups. You shouldn’t start, join, or try to build a business that targets them. The startup world feels more like a deafening echo-chamber of self promoting “house flippers” more interested in vanity metrics and celebrity status on lame tech blogs than building a business.
How the greatest figure of the northern Renaissance invented a new business model. IN JULY 1521, as Albrecht Dürer was packing up to return to Nuremberg from Antwerp, he received a message. Would he come at once to do a portrait of Christian II, King of Denmark, who happened to be in town? Naturally he dropped what he was doing, and went. One did not turn down kings.
If you’re asking which startup to build, not whether to build, you probably have several half-baked ideas and don’t know which one to devote yourself to. Or you have no idea at all. Max Levchin and Peter Thiel would tell you innovation is dead and that you should go work on real, world-changing, notable problems. They say too many young companies are solving small problems and creating features.
Ah, the invigorating life of the fearless entrepreneur. A warrior of capitalism, armed with nothing more than a dream and a laptop, risking all in hopes of changing the world. But how do they do it? Careful analysis of successful Silicon Valley startups has revealed a heretofore secret list of 140 steps outlining what really happens in a technology startup. Want to know the real story?
Many newbie entrepreneurs think they know exactly what the market wants. I know this, because I used to be exactly like that. But time and bitter experience has taught me – I don’t know what the market wants. And you reading this, neither do you. Let me explain.
Company founders are the quintessential cheerleaders, promoting their vision and company every chance they get. But that doesn’t mean that they are necessarily the best at two core functions: selling and fundraising (and many are bad at both but excel at other functions, like technology).
But perhaps most importantly, I think we need more stories that celebrate the success of what seem like small, iterative product launches, but actually reflect triumphs in unsung disciplines such as systems operations, design process, business development and product management.
