Awesome list.

I recommend adding ToutApp(http://toutapp.com) under sales tools.


Sorry for the plug but I just wrote an ebook which teaches you how to find a startup internship. You can check it out here: http://www.learntohustle.com/


You sound like a good fit for the CEO of a startup. Since you have a ton of savings why not try to start an idea based on your skills instead of waiting for a technical co-founder? Maybe a service business first.

You should put a tweet button so people can share the website. I like how simple it is to use it.


Every startup is different so it's hard to point to resources without knowing what customer acquisition channels work for you.


Guys these videos are an awesome concept but are they really helping your customer?

Just think what's going to make their life better or make them want to use your product.


Thanks smit for liking the concept behind it :) Our goal with these videos is two-fold:

1. Share our experiences so that other early-stage startups can benefit from it.

2. Present our opinions on a variety of topics so that folks with a similar mindset might consider joining Kamcord and working on a lot of the exciting challenges we talk about.

Also, it doesn't take long to film. We just sat in a room and talked unscripted for a couple hours. Our awesome intern then pieced the best parts together.


I thought it would be better to make it short and sweet. What details would you suggest adding?


I'd try adding some bits as to what's in it for them. Free marketing advice is really not a good offer. Anyone can get it from the millions of marketing "gurus" that infest twitter. Plus add some details about you and a link to your blog (which is pretty good in itself). One last point is that you want people to know you are not some crazy dude from the internet. Have them see you are just a young entrepreneur who wants to make it. Tell a story, but in less than 4 paragraphs. (:

Shoot me an email if you'd like to some help. I'm a copy wizard. =P


Google analytics?


GA doesn't show full URL referrers, IPs, or any of that.


check out startupthreads.com


Pretty cool. If a pet can help become more productive, every startup should get one ;)
