Startup Reading List

March 20, 2015

Is it possible to favor one of our weekly editions over another? Of course it is. Is this the best digest ever? Based on all the digests we have ever sent, statistically that would be unlikely.

However, this digest is pretty good. Read, do, measure, repeat.

Much love,

Your curating team

Startup Lessons I Wish I Knew...

Zaid Zawaideh

"What's worse than having to throw three weeks of work on a feature? Working a few more weeks on it to find out that no one cares about it, or that it is confusing your customers."

Your Most Important Skill: Empathy

"I spend much more time and much more effort learning how to understand the people around me than I do code, systems, architectures, and technologies. I'm not an expert or even remarkable at it, but I work on it consciously and consistently. The it I'm describing here is called "empathy"."

How to Become a Rock Star for $290

Brett Goldstein

"Sounds complicated, but the idea was simple: send my crappy iPhone recording to a bunch of amazing musicians scattered across the globe and hope they can independently record their respective parts on top of it so that in the end, the song sounds halfway decent."

Prototyping Tools and Process

Chris McCann

"The design industry is undergoing a huge transformation — we are seeing more prototyping tools than ever before. This increase in the number and breadth of various prototyping tools is fueled by three factors: 1) the rise in mobile apps; 2) the rise of the importance of design; and 3) users expectations for well designed and intuitive applications."
