Startup Reading List | April 24, 2015 |
Last week we made a little joke in terms of feedback. Boy did we ask for it. We got hit on email, Twitter, and a few of you even tried smoke signals (yes, we saw your effort but couldn't decipher).
Feedback is important to us because we can tell that many of you are opening this digest on a weekly basis... 12,067 last week to be exact... about a 20% open rate which we are told isn't too bad.
We want to ensure you are getting value from the digest. Reading articles that are worth your time and ensuring you know what you are getting into. If you are thinking about a venture, we hope the digest gives you some insight. If you are in the middle of your startup journey, perhaps one article could be the difference you are looking for. Or if you are simply interested in this space, perhaps these articles have helped you find new found respect for the those who dare to do.
Entrepreneurship is a life style decision with few rainbows, lots of heartbreak and a couple of unicorns. Think Game of Thrones not The Social Network.
Love you all,
Your curators

And right now, I believe our business, employees, and customers are best served if we continue with our current growth path." | | Ben Horowitz "You should set high-level goals, but those goals will or will not be achieved by the organization that you assigned them to. If you want to help them reach their goals, do so by focusing on the little things." | | Micah Baldwin "Next time you are eating in a busy restaurant, stop your server and pitch your company. If s/he stops, thinks and asks a good question, then your words are the star.
