Tips For Startups

A few months ago there was a great deal of discussion on if it is the right climate to start a new company (especially in the web 2.0 space in Silicon Valley).

Without delving into the arguments for and against, I stumbled across two blog posts in the last 10 minutes that suggest now is a great time, if only because the amount of resources available to an entrepreneur are so vast.

Ben Barren points to an article by Don Dodge discussing Kleiner Perkins’ 7 rules for software start-ups. Moments earlier I was reading a tidy list of 5 Steps to Building Better Websites.

There are surely arguments that’d complain of information overload, but when I fly out tomorrow I’ll also be armed with a bunch of podcasts that’ll provide another range of tips, tricks, advice and case studies.

There hasn’t been a better time to start a business, if only because of the ease by which I can access everyone else’s knowledge.
