Intro
I’ve compiled much of the material I’ve read, watched, and listened to – along with some other good stuff I plan to get round to!
This post relates back to my recent post “The Lean Startup – something for many to benefit from”.
The contents of this post include:
- Who’s who
- Videos
- Podcasts
- Newsletters
- Tools
- Events in general
- Related activities in North East England
- Books
There is always going to be more, however this is as much as I can compile for the moment!
Update: I’ve been asked to plug the forthcoming ‘Women’s edition’ of London Startup Weekend. It starts the evening of Friday 14th September, and finishes on the Sunday evening. I’m hoping to go, and they’re hoping for as many lady entrepreneurs to be there as possible. Let me know if you want someone to go with! :-)
