Guy Kawasaki just posted an MP3 recording from an event known as the Art of the Start, where well-known venture capitalists from Silicon Valley gather to discuss the business environment for startups and strategies for raising capital in various market sectors. You can download it here.
The recording lasts an hour and can be a bit dry at times, but there’s a lot of good nuggets of wisdom, like where your company should be before being appealing to investors (when you have decent customer traction). Even though we’re not looking for investors right now the clip is still useful to help learn about the rules (and rulemakers) of the startup game. Check it out if you’ve got the time.

hey! i read this book (art of the start) while in guinea! for that matter, i read the book on the millionaire next door or something like that just a couple months ago over here too… one really interesting book that i just read recently is called “the tipping point” by malcolm gladwell; i recommend it as it is different/interesting, readable, and perhaps even useful. good stuff. as is your page. you guys are doing some impressive work… keep it up!
sssssssssssssssaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaammmmmmmmmmm
Thanks Sam. I’ve read the tipping point – it’s excellent. I’m currently reading a book by Seth Godin called “small is the new big”. There’s plenty of information on all these blogs, but it’s hard to beat a good book
