PESO :: Philippine Emerging Start-ups Open

Advice from Legends

While I was doing some late-night reading, I came across two superb resources.

The first is the "Top 10 Enduring Elements of High-Tech Entrepreneurship" by Tom Byers (Stanford Tech Ventures Program). It's a tight, focused overview of the basics of technopreneurhip.

The second is Bnoopy, a technopreneurship blog by Joe Kraus, founder of Excite.com. Joe talks about his experience and working with luminaries like Vinod Khosla and Geoff Yang. He even met Bill Gates (while in the men's room). He says it's a great time to be an entrepreneur.
