The startup playbook. All the basics: https://playbook.samaltman.com/ The Startup Owner's Manual: https://www.amazon.com/Startup-Owners-Manual-Step-Step/dp/09... (https://www.amazon.com/Startup-Owners-Manual-Step-Step/dp/0984999302) Nobody seems to recommend this because nobody has finished reading it, but it's meant to be acted on, not finished. There are literally checklists. It's also hard to get a soft copy, but th soft copies are useful for printing out the checklists. Paul Graham has changed the definition of a startup, but I still love the one from here - the goal of a startup is to have a scalable and repeatable business model. Startup=Growth, by Paul Graham https://paulgraham.com/growth.html I'd recommend the whole site, and many do. But start here. Many don't understand that startups are about growing assets, not revenue. And exponential is a funny word for "very slow". If you wanted to grow to a million dollars, do anything but a startup and don't raise VC money. But this shows how the math works.
