One of the things I’ve found quite useful during my time here, is tapping into local/start-up information feeds. Here are a selection of the ones I’ve found most useful; General Education: Startup Digest - Weekly email with reading material suggestions/events/tech community stuff. *This is a must* This week in Startups - Weekly podcast/videos on what’s going on in Start-up land. Often topical, but good value if you’re interested in industry trends. (Podcast) Mixergy - Regular (very) in-depth interviews with successful entrepreneurs – lots of ground-level tactics. (Podcast, videos) Newsfeed: Angel List - Tap into the newsletter – But this is really worth spending some time on the main site getting your head around it. Sprouter - Regular newsletter which highlights of some of the more interesting start-ups around the world. Springwise - Similar vein to Sprouter – I scan both newletters when they come through as part of my personal ‘New-Tech Radar.’ If anyone has other suggestions here I’d be happy to add them to the list – (Tweet to @KiwiLandingPad or @reubenmetcalfe) |
