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-... **

@pieterpaul thanks Pieter! Basically I've been making lists for a very long time, these are the best things I've collected ;)

@bramk Got it! Any other lists in the making? ;) So many startups starting with lists and newsletters these days! @rrhoover

@rrhoover @pieterpaul I have 5 other categories lined up: * Revenue models * Pitch & Deck * Product Management * Task Management * Funding docs

@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

@rrhoover @pieterpaul thanks! Yes cf.sg is already on my list :)

@bramk Most comprehensive startup list I've seen to date! Great stuff. Anything on the road map to split up development tools into more categories? There are lots of great resources there too!

I need a curated list of curated lists of resources for startups.

@alexeiciobanu · product manager, startup junkie
it would be helpful to show the tag (price/free) and ultimately build collection around pricing, as it is very important for startups;)

Great collection and resources! Some are well known usual suspects but look out for the diamonds in the rough. If @bramk says it rocks, he's right.

Ross Currie
@rossdcurrie · Founder, CrowdLoot
@punttim @bramk Agree about these being some of the usual suspects. What would be cool would be to see like the "hidden secrets" at the top, with the more general stuff under. Or some other way to distinguish between the generic stuff and the "Hey, you really need to know about this"

This. is. awesome. As a Startup Weekend facilitator and general startup community guy, this is an amazing list to answer pretty much any question starting with, "Where can I..."

Bram Kanstein (@bramk)
@bramk · Creator of @startupstash
@kyletaylored YES, this is exactly the purpose of why I made this. I've had similar responses from universities to show it to their students and investors showing this to their portfolio, thanks Kyle!

I'd suggest Namesilo for your domain collection. Free domain privacy for life. I don't like the idea that I have to pay extra to hide my home address on other registrars - gets expensive when you juggle 20+ domains.

Bram Kanstein (@bramk)
@bramk · Creator of @startupstash
@rossdcurrie Noted! ;)
Ross@GoLocalApps
@golocalapps · GoLocalApps
@rossdcurrie google domains does this as well. $12 a year and includes privacy.
Ross Currie
@rossdcurrie · Founder, CrowdLoot
@golocalapps Cool, didn't know that. Should definitely be on the list
Ross Currie
@rossdcurrie · Founder, CrowdLoot
@golocalapps Should probably add - "Available to US residents only". That's a bit stupid.
Ross@GoLocalApps
@golocalapps · GoLocalApps
@rossdcurrie I didn't even look at that. We've got something like 120 domains, most at godaddy, but a few I do on google for the free privacy. Granted why would I be embarrassed that I own a domain like republicanssaythecraziestthings.com, but still.
Ross Currie
@rossdcurrie · Founder, CrowdLoot
@golocalapps Yeah I had a legitimate concern recently where a issue covered by some of the domains I own was getting a LOT of negative press. We're talking protests and riots and the last thing I wanted was some crazy Internet person linking my domain to that issue and then showing up on my doorstep. I moved all of my domains over to Namesilo... and pretty happy with it. I don't get all the spammy godaddy emails anymore.

Really great work Bram. Appreciate the nod to Gigster. We've also got people visit us (and initiate projects) as a direct result of Startup Stash. Thanks! I'll definitely be spreading the word about your product. [Some Feedback: definitely allow for search :)]

@levandreessen that's awesome!

@ankscricholic · AI research
Great design. It'd be awesome if you'd rank the products a/c popularity. Maybe add a upvote feature? It'd be easy to trust the product if we'll see people backing it.

@ryangum · CEO, Attach
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?
H
Bram Kanstein (@bramk)
@bramk · Creator of @startupstash
@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 ;)

Kudos! Question - how can a service get featured? It would be nice if the featured services (when you have more) are related to the selected category.
Steve Benjamins
@stevebenjamins · Founder, Site Builder Report
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.
