This week we've included an article to figure out if your startup idea is a good one. And, articles that will help you out with knowing what VCs want to hear, and how to convince them you're standing out against competitor in your fields.
Our Culture-section this week includes some longer pieces, to give you some food for thought: on startup life, laptops, and walking.
