I am doing Masters in an ivy league.l and got a bachelor's degree from IIT. I cracked interviews in almost all the big tech Giants. I want to build my own start up in 2-3 years from now and I want to be ready with all the required business/management/finance/legal knowledge I will be needing. I know it's not always about knowledge but networking plays a key role but Where do I start to get myself to that level where I can lead a potential billion dollar startup? Any free courses/books? What all do I need to learn/be aware of? What kind of networking events or groups or organizations should I follow or be a part of?
Good entrepreneurship comes from experience. Experience comes from bad entrepreneurship! Go in the wild. Makes mistakes, learn. Be the next Steve Jobs 😁
Learn the laws that will impact the business you plan to start in the location you plan to start it.
Find a good mentor.
Find an idea and start working. You dont need to know everything. You are smart and can figure it out as things come. And once you raise money your VCs will advice you and connect you to the right folks.
Read all the popular essays from PG. Then read Lean Startup. Finally start thinking about who will be on your team when you build your first startup. Team is the most critical piece initially. Keep it small but awesome. - advice from a successful founder
Why free courses? Aren't you accomplished enough to afford premium?
So you can crack big tech interviews and you’re at a top business school, yet, you don’t know that you just need to get started? Think about it: if starting and running a billion-dollar tech business were straightforward, do you think any of us would be on Blind right now? There’s no textbook. Think. You sound like someone who’s just really good at playing within a system.
