Video and book recommendations for startups

I recently discovered that a co-worker, Mandeep, and I shared a number of the same interests. Namely, that we both enjoy the culture around startups and books. I wrote another post not too long ago about some startup resources, which may be interest to you as well.

He sent me an e-mail, which I thought would be beneficial to many of the startups I’m working with. Below, you can find some fantastic book recommendations and courses for getting your startup off the ground.
