For
would-be entrepreneurs
and early-stage investors the essays on this site are
must-reads. The author, Paul Graham, is smart and
experienced! Although most of the examples reference
software/web-based start-up businesses, the advice and
lessons-learned are applicable to almost all new ventures.
With more than fifty essays on the site I would filter the
must-reads for those interested in start-ups
to:
