## What it is
A curated, opinionated list of resources for startup founders and CEOs of high-growth companies, covering fundraising, product, sales, marketing, management, hiring, and finance. It is a reading list of articles, guides, and books rather than software.

## Use cases
- find resources on raising a seed round
- learn startup fundraising best practices
- reading list for first-time founders
- resources on hiring and management for startup leaders
- guides on pitching to venture capitalists
- learn about startup valuation and exits

## When to choose
- you are a founder or CEO looking for vetted reading material on running and growing a startup
- you want curated guides on fundraising, hiring, or management
- you prefer opinionated recommendations over exhaustive link dumps

## When to avoid
- you need executable software or tooling
- you want a neutral, exhaustive directory rather than an opinionated selection
- you need up-to-date content, as the list was last updated in early 2023
