Recently I was talking with an entrepreneur that had a seed stage startup and a number of questions. After the conversation, I realized that I didn’t have a good link to share with a number of resources for seed stage startups. Well, here are 15 posts every seed stage entrepreneur should read:
- 9 Simple Weekly Metrics
- 5 Sales Tips
- Budgeting for the $300k Seed Round

The seed stage is especially difficult and challenging. Entrepreneurs would do well to join a peer group and carve out time to learn from other entrepreneurs.
