And when you get that startup off the ground and start kicking butt I highly recommend adding Fred Wilson (avc.com) to your regular reading list. Great insight into financing, what makes startups successful, etc.

Maybe it was just my eyes, but the black color scheme is murder to read, especially when it came to the links at the bottom.

Yup he's already on the list. Unfortunately couldn't add all the awesome resources I've curated..

That is a really nice collection. I think many of us are in the situation to have great products, but don't have the money to create a big marketing campaign or even buy a few ads to deliver it.

One thing: keep the dark color scheme, but don't put dark grey links on black background (like one commenter already mentioned here), and increase the line height by a few pixels, makes it a lot easier to read.

Glad you found the resources useful!

Hey, akshay. Nice resource. I saved to read it later. I'm in the prototype fase of a startup that has something like your. Maybe we could change a couple emails, what do you think? Maybe I could learn anything from you.

btw. I saw that your startup was called mokabla, and now is GetComparisons. Waay better!

Very nice resource. The Diagramation and the typography are very beautiful. Do you have another free issues?
