8 Startup Resources You Should Check Out Right Now
Part 1
Finding the right tools to help you build and scale a company can be one of the biggest challenges you face as an entrepreneur.
Luckily sites like Product Hunt have come to the rescue by curating daily lists of high-quality tools and services to help you find exactly what you need.
However, one of the downsides of these curation sites is the sheer volume of offerings that are posted. Not everyone has the time to sift through the 20+ new products added every day to the site.
I’ve been monitoring Product Hunt daily for the past year. Here are 13 incredibly useful resources for startups.
1. Startup Pitch Decks
Real pitch decks from startups that raised over $400M
Looking to raise money? Check out these pitch decks from massively successful companies you’ll recognize.
2. Startup Launch List
Articles you need to read before launching a startup
High-quality articles every entrepreneur should read before (and after) building a startup.
3. Submit.co
Find where to get press coverage for your startup
A massive matrix with useful links and information to help you know where to go to get press coverage. This will likely save you an immense amount of time that you would have otherwise spent pecking aimlessly around on the internet.
4. Generator by DesignModo
Easy way to make a landing page for your startup
I love this landing page builder. One of the best interfaces out there. If you want to push something out quickly that’s of high quality, look no further than Inside Designmodo’s Generator.
5. User Engage
Affordable Marketing Automation with 5 minute setup
Marketing automation is all the rage right now, but you’ll find that most solutions cost a silly amount of money. UserEngage has created a scalable solution that lowers the cost bar down to where virtually anyone can afford it.
6. Stripe Atlas
The best way to start an internet business
If I had money to spend on a company from the offset, I would use a service like Stripe Atlas. They take care of a bunch of the clerical stuff most entrepreneurs mess up like legal, banking, and accounting.
7. MetaList
Search, market research and track startups in your industry
Following other companies in your industry can be a pain. MetaList makes it easy. Create lists of top companies in your industry and MetaList keeps you updated on product launches, traffic, and news alerts.
8. Best Referral Programs
A curated directory of startup referral programs
I can only hope that Growth Jam keeps this list up to date. If you’ve ever wondered what to offer in a referral program and how to present it, check out Best Referral Programs. Here you’ll find screenshots, descriptions, and helpful walkthroughs of referral programs from incredibly successful companies.
