The List of Startup Growth Resources: from the Best Books and Frameworks

This Friday ->Celebrating 750+ Startup Salad Subscribers with the Comprehensive List of Guidelines to Build a Successful Startup! [3 min reading]

On Startup Salad I break down a business book’s key takeaways in a simple, digestible format, just like a good salad!

Hey, it’s Fede!

I’m really happy and grateful to all of you, we just hit 750+ subscribers! 🙌

Over the past few months on Startup Salad, we’ve talked about around 30 business books covering a looooot of topics for startup founders.

And honestly, nothing makes me happier than hearing it’s helping you on your startup journey.

I also realized something...
All these newsletters are slowly turning into a real knowledge hub.

A place you can scroll through, learn from top entrepreneurs, and grab ideas to build your startup.

So for this special edition, I’ve pulled everything into one simple list (find below).
Easy to read. Easy to use. Easy to steal ideas from.

But first, a quick survey it’ll help me pick the next topics to dive into.

That’s it!
