"A word of warning about choosing to start a startup: It sucks! One of the most consistent pieces of feedback we get from YC founders is it’s harder than they could have ever imagined."

That's how Y Combinator President Sam Altman tells it in his Startup Playbook. No matter how prepared you think you are to start up, staff up or scale up, there's a long line of founders who could share something valuable. That's what inspired us to create this list of the 100 Best Websites For Entrepreneurs. In picking the sites, we looked for frequent posts, actionable advice and a collection of content that can be reviewed as needed. Listed in alphabetical order, the sites offer help with all aspects of building a business.

Some of the highlights to be found include Steve Blank writing about Lean Startup techniques and Paul Graham writing about seed-stage companies, including some counter-intuitive arguments that are likely to make you think. We also collected tools like Ornicept (THE tool for assessing the size of your market), Startup Stash (a startup multivitamin, of sorts, that rounds up devices to help you get going) and Shake (where you can find hiring templates, non-disclosure agreements and other legal documents).

If you'd rather listen than read, the more than a dozen podcasts on the list are probably for you.

Best of all, no matter how successful your company, it's a list that you will never outgrow, with sites like Coursera, where you can take classes from all across the country, and Stack Overflow, where you can get help with even your toughest coding questions.
