New Enterprises in a Nutshell

One of my favorite classes during the Spring term was New Enterprises. The class was essentially an intro to creating a start-up. It was a real eye-opener to the life of an entrepreneur. I just read three essays by Paul Graham that covered 80% of what I learned in that class. And they are excellent reads:

• How to Start a Startup
• Hiring is Obsolete
• A Unified Theory of VC Suckage
  

Paul is the author of Hackers and Painters, which is on my summer reading list. I've heard nothing but good things about it.
