Must have taken quite a while to build this. amazing. Thanks for doing this for the entire StartUp community. This will sure save some time. Better then just gooogling and having to click thru a ton of not so good articles!

Seems awesome so far. I could see it having some structure based on the nature of the advice offered i.e. who's perspective is offered (designer, developer, VC, etc.) or where there are wholly different schools of thought. This looks super useful as-is though.

I've been using First Search for about a month and find myself returning again and again to help the founders we work with find the information they need. I've also found myself bookmarking a ton of articles to read for later - essentially a more targeted Pocket for my own personal career development.

There is much for ecosystem enablers/investors to learn from First Round. This another great approach to solving a known issue.
