My Favorite blog posts on Startups

Recently I came across very useful blog posts written for start-up links, I would like to copy here so that I don't forget to revisit these again & again :-

OnStartup.com  from Dharmesh Shah is my all time favourite. 
And blogger of above site, write post based on one of my favourite movie "Moneyball" :-

• Startup Lessons From 17 Hard-Hitting Quotes In "Moneyball"

And my favourite point from above post is :-

5. Your goal shouldn't be to buy players, your goal should be to buy wins.
I'm going to illustrate this point with a quick paraphrasing with a conversation I had with an entrepreneur last year. It went roughly like this:
Me: What do you need?
Them: We need to build a management team.
Me: No, what do you actually need right now?
Them: Well, right now we need a VP Engineering.
Me. What for?
Them: Well, we need head up our product development effort.
Me. No, you actually need to write code and release a product. You need to respond to customer issues. You need to iterate quickly so you can learn quickly. You don't need a VP of anything, you need a doer of stuff that needs to get done. Don't think about buying titles — think about buying outcomes.  Think about plugging gaping holes in the company.  Signing up customers so fast that you can't respond to all the support emails?  Don't hire a head of support, hire someone that helps you tackle the support issue.  Someone that's maniacally committed to customer happiness.  They can become your head of support some day.
