Tools for startups along their lifetime

  • This is great, as is rchaudhary's link.

    I can usually deal very well with tools/software/etc, but I have more problems getting really straight answers on non-technical things sometimes.

    Does anybody have similar links for business processes? "Here's the least amount of accounting/legal/business/etc you need for starting up a business..."

    Quick steps like: - Use this template as your Articles of Organization and file for an LLC. - Get a company credit card and buy everything on it. - Your accounts should look like "this" - Here's the steps you go through to add money from your personal savings to your company's in a clean way (no corporate veil piercing or anything of that nature) _after_ the beginning of the company - A guide to internet advertising -- what works/what doesn't/who the players are

    Programmers have so many bulidings blocks these days for handling sys admin, money handling, etc, but there are still a lot of things I'm very curious about and can't seem to find a single simple source of information for.

  • I second the wiki suggestion.

    My experience, thus far, with Google Docs:

    - Click on link and browse around a bit

    - As usual, use backspace key to go back to HN

    - Nothing happens, tap backspace key a few more times out of habit

    - Accidentally delete most of the presentation

  • You guys should check out http://startuptools.pbworks.com/w/page/17974963/FrontPage

  • Has a lot of great information for anyone interested in startups. I have to agree with the rest also, would be nice in a wiki format. However, it seems that it was just thrown together as a mash-up of resources - kind of a first stage document. Hopefully with some more effort it can be a wiki page.

  • Really good idea, whatever format you publish it in. Will save many searches of hacker news archives.

  • Something looks very wrong with it, chrome 10.0.612.3 dev on win XP.

  • What a great idea which really ought to be in a spreadsheet!

  • Did anyone copy it down?
