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.

Entrepreneurs are inherently individuals, so rolling their experiences up into trends isn’t easy. That’s made worse because 95% of the returns come from 5% of the companies. So what everyone does, doesn’t really matter. It’s what that 5% does that really matters.
When I’m asked what has had the biggest impact on Earbits so far, I often cite our participation in Y Combinator. The reality is, we wouldn’t have even applied for the w2011 session if it weren’t for the advice of one of our awesome advisors, Avichal Garg, of stealth SF startup Spool. Having a great team of advisors has been invaluable for our company and will continue to be so as we move...
What follows is my talk at IE on why European and all non US start ups may not want to move to Silicon Valley, at least not the whole company.
A year and a half ago my career as a musician took a sharp turn. I became a first time entrepreneur, and co-founded Earbits, the music start-up that is changing the face of the music industry. I started playing music when I was 5 years old. First piano, then trumpet, eventually drums, and composition. I was lucky enough to attend Berklee College of Music.
So now that I've worked at both a startup and a big company, which is better for recent college graduates? Despite articles that claim otherwise, I don't think either one is the right choice for everyone. I believe it depends on a large number of factors, but I'll try to cover some of the most obvious differences. Please keep in mind that this represents my biased experiences in Silicon...
Hoping to get funding for your startup? You’ll have better luck if you aren’t going it alone, according to several venture capital investors on a panel session at this week’s Google I/O Conference. Two to three co-founders is a “sweet spot” for investors.
I sat down with Case on Friday at the TiE Silicon Valley conference to discuss how he’s advocating for entrepreneur-friendly policies at a governmental level. Entrepreneurs, meanwhile, should focus on building companies they’re passionate about, rather than looking for a money-making “quick flip,” he said.
Wake up with an overpowering urge to become some kind of macabre pavement decoration. Go outside, smoke a cigarette. Smoke another one. Write code. Feel better. I do this every so often. My psychiatrist calls it schizoaffective disorder. My friends call it 'batshit insane'.
When I left to join a startup I had 7 years of commercial banking experience, which has little value to an early stage company. In the beginning startups need lots of things, but understanding an income statement and balance sheet is not one of them. I had to find a way to make myself valuable to a startup and find a startup that I thought had a lot of potential.
One of the great fallacies of the corporate world is that you must have a corporate job to have any kind of security in life. The corporate world is exceedingly good at brainwashing people who work there into believing that, to the extent that most people are (quite rightly) terrified of what will happen once they step out of the jumbo-jet of corporate life into what they perceive to be as free...
