“With knowledge being universally accessible, there will be no excuses for non-performance.”

Peter Drucker

Steve Blank recently asked me to prepare a list of startup blogs for his customer development class. Here you go Steve.

I read all of these blogs. They all have incredibly useful archives. And they’re all written by people who teach and practice, so the advice is practical.

Must read

Eric Ries – Startup Lessons Learned
Fred Wilson – A VC
Marc Andreessen – pmarca
Paul Graham
37signals – Signal vs. Noise

More to read

Brad Feld and Jason Mendelson – Ask the VC
David Hornik – VentureBlog
Dharmesh Shah – On startups
Josh Kopelman – Redeye VC

Should be posting more often

Naval Ravikant – StartupBoy
Steve Barsh – Barsh Bits

I would think Mark Cuban’s blog? He is very insightful at times.

As a long time fan (first met him in college in the UK) of the now departed Peter Drucker, what a great quote to pick for this particular blog.

That said, while, in my view, he still is as relevant today as he ever was, in so far as start-up resources are concerned, the list already compiled above comprises an excellent wealth of knowledge directly relevant to guiding anyone along the start-up path while also saving for bedtime reading “The Daily Drucker” as an aid to guaranteeing you’ll fall asleep with really constructive business thoughts in mind.
