Resources
If you are expecting resources for raising your Series A, you're going to be disappointed! Most startups fail because they don't spend enough time on the fundamentals of discovery. Before you even THINK about building a product (or even an MVP) we recommend that you read as much as you can by Steve Blank (especially 4 Steps to the Epiphany).
Below you will find links to some additional tools that we think will help in DISCOVERING your startup. Check back regularly as we update them, or sign up to the newsletter to be notified. We also recommend that you take our free certificate training course, and review the most up to date customer discovery and validation tools from your peers on the forum. Have we mentioned the word "discovery" enough yet?!
