Startup Reading List

A weekly selection of top articles, videos and resources on startup life.

Dear Digesters,

After 342 weeks of curating, I’m handing the reigns to a new curator. Well, Chris McCann isn’t a new curator, he is the curator. Chris started StartupDigest in 2009, introducing budding builders to the world of startup entrepreneurship. Since giving me the opportunity to curate the digest weekly, Chris has gone on to invest and build with founders. He’s got a lot to share and will be a boon to the digest and our collective startup knowledge.

I’ve had a blast curating over the years. I’ve enjoyed uncovering relevant articles and discussing them with many of you. I’m looking forward to being an active reader of the digest with so many startup enthusiast.

Wishing you incredible success in your startup adventures!

Be well,

Zubin
