Lately on the startup blogosphere there has been a lot of talk about lawyers and how they relate to startups and entrepreneurs. A few weeks ago, Scott Edward Walker, a guest author on Venture Hacks, posted his Top 10 reasons why entrepreneurs hate lawyers, which prompted venture capitalist Mark Suster to write How to Work with Lawyers at a Startup.

Regardless of whether lawyers are something entrepreneurs should loathe or love, it seems as though a curation of legal resources for startups was in order. The following is a list (in no particular order or rank) of blogs, articles, websites, VC tips and other online resources for entrepreneurs and startups.

The following is one in a series of guest posts by venture capitalists that we're running on ReadWriteStart. This one is by Paul Jozefak, a VC based in Hamburg, Germany, who used to run SAP AG's European venture activities and is now a managing partner at Neuhaus Partners. The original post can be found on his blog.

One way or another, I've addressed the question of "Where is the Silicon Valley of Europe" a hundred times, be it in interviews, in blog posts, on Twitter, or on panels. Ultimately, there isn't really a "Valley" in Europe, only some places kind of like it. If you want my ideas on that, I have other posts on the topic.

I was thinking about what questions I would ask if I were raising venture capital. Funny thing is that I often think about what to ask entrepreneurs when deciding whether to invest in them. I've told entrepreneurs often enough that they should ask their VCs just as many questions. I have never really clarified, though, what they should ask. My bad. So, to be fair, here is what I would ask a VC if I was interviewing one for the highly coveted opportunity to invest in my business (note the satire).

"It is the greatest mathematical discovery of all time." - Albert Einstein on compound interest.

There is a fallacy that startups need to be super-secretive and then, when they launch, move very fast to capture the market. This is rarely true. Most startups would do well to study compound interest rather than market share.

I am not a journalist. I am an entrepreneur who blogs. I blog on ReadWriteWeb because I don't like talking to myself and there are some great conversations here. Being part of RWW means I get to be on the receiving end of PR processes such as news releases and embargoes, which to me is strange. I have spent way more time on the other side of the street, hiring PR firms when I have the budget and doing it myself when I don't. This new perspective has lead me to some advice for companies about dealing with the press.

In the early days of the web, going online was heralded as a great way to connect with other people who have had experiences similar to your own. The web was a place to get answers, advice and community no longer limited by the geographic location of the individuals you connected with.

While all of that remains true today, the ubiquity of the internet, the ease of publishing and the rise of online advertising has lead to the emergence of new kinds of websites: productivity, how-to and advice/Q&A sites that broadcast, scale and monetize that kind of information.

Publicly-traded TheStreet.com, a serious investment and business news site that was started by CNBC's Jim Cramer in 1996, yesterday launched a new site MainStreet.com. The site has the stated goal of writing about stories where "life and money intersect," and though it covers politics, and general news, the site is mostly dominated by celebrity news and gossip. Which MainStreet.com unfortunately manages to make feel even more trashy.
