Like it Bram. As someone who's main learning style is visual one tweak I'd look to make is to add images for each category. If your plan is to stay with the red block grid style, then maybe on hover show a supporting image that backs up the text. No biggie at all and I can understand why you've not done that yet, but it helps us visual learners with easy browsing ;) Oozled.com is a good example of this. Another minor one, are the resources listed in order of quality? Is something at the top more highly recommended than at the bottom? Would be intrigued to see some form of obvious ranking, whether it be by you or the community (upvotes/recommend button?)

@fredrivett thanks Fred! I'm thinking about a supporting image for the squares, love the way oozled does this. For now it's really an MVP, the products in a category are not ranked in any way, it's up to you to decide which one is best for the phase your startup is in right now :) Maybe with another layout of the category page this can be more clear. As said before, maybe it's best to see it as somewhat of a blog where I curate the content, with a focus on discovery, not on reviews or something like that.

Startup Stash is a curated directory of resources and tools to help you build your startup. It includes 400 products in 40 categories, like for example: Idea Generation, Early users, Marketing, Raising Capital and Customer support. Each category consists of 10 handpicked resources and tools, all with their own detail page that displays some info about the product. I thought it would be fun to build a simple and useful site that can help you find resources and tools while building your startup. Hopefully Startup Stash will become the first thing you look at when you need a certain tool, just like an oldskool startpage! :) Would love to hear your thoughts!

** Ok, this got totally out of control! Thanks to everyone for voting and sharing Startup Stash! I tried to process all the madness by writing a blogpost, you can read it here: https://medium.com/@bramk/how-i-... **

@rrhoover @bramk Dayum! The ultimate startup resource indeed. Very helpful, if only this would have been around when we set up our operations. So much time wasted on desk research, reinventing the wheel. FYI you might be able to use some of the Funding docs from cf.sg

Nice concept Bram. Would love to see this grid in alphabetical order. Currently, they are all in the orange boxes and I get lost trying to look for something. Maybe if there was some visual way to represent each category (Different background / color) Possibly even have the top 3 in each category on the homepage, and you can click for more under each category? Just an idea.

@jadlimcaco Thanks Jad! So I had them ordered alphabetically at first, but now they're in the order that (kinda) represents the process from getting an idea to creating a startup. The products in each category are not ranked in any way, it's up to you to decide which resource or tool fits the stage your startup is in right now.

@bramk Category first. Alphabetically within category. One list. Separate categories.

Congrats on finally launching Bram, no doubt you painstakingly curated this yourself. Looks awesome :) Is this going to be updated periodically, or expanded, or where do you plan on taking it?

@ryangum Thanks Ryan! Yeah, this took me a while to get together ;) I've been collecting and making lists for a very long time, so that's kinda where the idea came from. I love discovering new tools and resources (also why I <3 Product Hunt) so the first step was to bundle them, thinking about updating it from time to time, so you can somewhat see it as a blog ;)

Awesome. Do you have affiliate programs programs setup? (Just curious, to me it wouldn't effect the "integrity" of the lists of you did).

@stevebenjamins thanks Steve! So for now this is really an MVP, have thought about affiliate links but haven't implemented it.

Fantastic! Just missing a search function. I'd like to type something like 'send email' and it provides me a list of tools. What do you think?

Awesome, already posted links to the website 3 times today as an answer. I would make the add resource link more prominent though, maybe also in specific categories.

@bramk I agree with @robertvhoesel. I had to look for it and scroll to find the submit option. I'm sure by being on top of PH you will get tons of emails in the days :), but maybe this will help in the future. Another idea might be upvoting/likes on your proposed list so you can keep it short (very important :) and quickly eliminate the "losers" for new names. One thing I'd really change is to have the link to the website accessible directly in the list vs. having to open a new page with almost the same information. It's ok if I want more info, but accessing the site quickly is more important I think (or at least give me the option): now it takes 3 clicks from start to site. Excellent selection btw and of course thanks a lot for putting this together. It's great.

Review Startup Stash?

Startup Stash is praised for its comprehensive directory of tools and resources essential for startups. Users find it particularly helpful for gaining a quick overview of the startup landscape and for those considering remote work or relocation. However, some users note the absence of a search function and outdated content, with broken links like "Best Zoom Alternatives" leading to errors. Despite these issues, it remains a valuable resource for startup founders, especially newcomers, offering a solid foundation for learning and decision-making.
