RESOURCES FOR STARTUPS
Message from Eric Little...
The following resources are ones I believe are helpful to startup and early stage companies. Some represent my own thoughts and experiences, but where possible, I provided links to lectures and other resources from the Wharton School of Business, the Kaufman Foundation for Entrepreneurs, and major law firms serving the technology community including Wilson Sonsini Goodrich and Rosati and Cooley LLP.
