Startup Reading List

April 03, 2015

Many of us will be hunting for Easter eggs this weekend. Others will continue their search hunting for product/market fit, funding, employees, or a job with a startup. This week's edition of carefully hand selected startup articles should help with all of those hunts.

Good hunting...

Career Decisions

Elad Gil

"Early in your career the market trend you ride may be the biggest future determinant for your success.  Joining a company in a great market means there will be tons of companies who want to hire you, and many high growth opportunities within your own company or across other companies in the same market."

My Interviews with Airbnb, Dropbox, Posterous, Reddit, Weebly and Wufoo circa 2010

Jessica Livingston

Great perspective here. Worth checking them all out.

Fundraising Mistakes Founders Make

Sam Altman

"If you're clearly in a position of leverage, it's fine to push for a high valuation, but don't jerk investors around. Just say what you want and don't get into a lot of back and forth or term complexity. Also remember that very high valuations often push out good investors."

Optimal Platform Pricing Strategy

Bill Gurley

"The funny thing about "hard numbers" is that they can give a false sense of security. Young math students are warned about the critical difference between precision and accuracy."

The Anatomy of the Perfect Sales Hiring Process

Peter Kazanjy

"A lot of people may think that a bad rep will only cost you three months of salary before you fire him. It's way more than that. It's the dozens of demos that a good hire in his seat would have been doing, leading to 20-30% conversions."
