My Startup Tool Kit
A few months ago I did a short post called “Why you should start a Internet Company Today”. Turns out, that short post has become the most read post here at ATC. Go figure. So, for my benefit, I wanted to expand on that list and kind of make it a little more complete. Who knows, maybe this list will be helpful to others as well. I’m currently in the beginning phase of starting a company and am always on the look out for advice, tips and tools to help me along.
This is not a Top 10 type list, lets just say it’s a directory for a web entrepreneurs to get inspired, get connected and get shit done. I’m sure I’m missing some other great stuff so let me know what else might belong on this list.
