Startupping Launches!

I’m very pleased to announce the launch of Startupping, a resource for Internet entrepreneurs. As I explain in the first post, I want to take the mystery out of the process of starting and running an Internet company. The site has four main areas, the Startupping Blog, a set of discussion forums, a wiki, and an aggregation of relevant blogs from VCs, Angels and Entrepreneurs. To kick things off, I’ve asked several successful Internet entrepreneurs, including John Battelle, Paul Graham, Dick Costolo, Chris Pirillo, and Ross Mayfield to describe the best decision and worst mistake they’ve made as an entrepreneur. Startupping will work best as a community. Entrepreneurs don’t start out knowing everything about the process of starting a company, and situations and solutions change with the times. This is the site I wish had existed back when I started my first company. I’ve invited many of the successful entrepreneurs I know to participate. It’s my hope that through Startupping, we will be able to help people get started and become successful, and in turn grow the community of new Internet entrepreneurs.
