    I read a lot of resources on LinkedIn, X, and here. Podcasts and case studies are good for me, too. I created free resources for startup founders, too. ✅ LinkedIn Profile Checklist ✅ LinkedIn Growth Checklist ✅ B2B Buyer Persona Template ✅ Product Hunt Launch Checklist ✅ 140+ Social Proof Examples ✅ 60+ Directories to Promote your Startup (I have a 500+ list. But I chose the best for you). https://olenabomko.gumroad.com

    I like to be inspired by the stories of other founders and to learn from both successful and unsuccessful stories. I also find the interaction with others in my industry and with potential target groups very valuable. Other than that, of course: - Startup/technology newsletters and podcasts - Articles on Crunchbase, Medium, etc. - HackerNews, Reddit (sometimes) and of course Product Hunt And local startup events, founder meetups, conferences and trade shows are very underrated in my opinion.

    @federico_zuluaga_knorr hackathons and meetups are truly underrated. A lot of exchange of ideas happen

    Hey @olenabomko! 😊 Great question! For startup founders, I'd recommend checking out 'The Lean Startup' by Eric Ries and Y Combinator's Startup School. Both are treasure troves of insights and practical advice. 😄 Also, don't miss out on Paul Graham's essays; they're gold! Happy reading and best of luck with your startup journey! 🚀

    @olenabomko @abhra_ch I believe that the Lean startup was the most relevant when it came out but it's not enough now. We discussed about the concepts in the book in detail and how they are irrelevant on this episode: https://youtu.be/FoIB0u03aVA

    I'll shamelessly plugin my podcast since it's the most relevant for founders in today's day and age. Since it's something we all are figuring out ourselves and sharing the learnings that make sense right now. Links in my profile.

    Google Keywords Planner or something for Keywords Research. Understands better to understand the market: user needs.

    LinkedIn can be a treasure trove for startup info, but it's easy to get overwhelmed. The checklist mentioned here sounds like just what I need to focus my browsing.

    Hubspot Academy and blog are a great source of basic but practical guides on marketing and sales Like the article on Li outreach with templates https://blog.hubspot.com/sales/b... "Learn Design & Design Basics" by Figma is a great way to start figuring out how to do good design. https://www.figma.com/resource-l... Also would recommend YC videos and lenny's podcast to learn from the best in the industry. YC how to get first customers video:

    It also have a Product Hunt launch checklist? That's amazing! This could be the difference between getting noticed or getting lost in the crowd.

    I think podcasts or interviews of successful people are good as audio learning provides a lot of advantages. Not only convenience and flexibility, but also a wide range of resources. Celeb shows or interviews may also be an inspiration to us. I like to watch Steve Harvey's show, he has many motivational quotes about career and success. One of his most famous sayings is: "Your dream has to be bigger than your fear." This quote emphasizes the importance of having big dreams and aspirations, and the need to overcome fear to achieve them. Harvey encourages people to push past their fears and pursue their goals with determination and confidence. And this has been such a motivation for me up until now, I hope so do you!
