Ask HN: Would you be interested in a startup guide?

11 points| myoung8 | 15 years ago

I'm thinking about building out a site to brain-dump my experiences as a co-founder of a venture-backed software startup. Kind of like an AMA, but more structured and (hopefully) with contributions from other entrepreneurs. Think guides.rubyonrails.org but for startups.

What would you want to see on there? It doesn't necessarily have to be content...

It would be nice to have a database of stories, successses or failures from entrepreneurs. It would be great motivation and educational.
