One of the most important questions I love to ask founders is: Please share the top 3 tools and resources you’re currently using to grow your business? In some cases, it’s usually something that I already knew or heard about in the past. But every so often I’ll discover something new, something that can make life as an entrepreneur much easier.

It is with that mindset that I bring you this compilation of the top tools and resources entrepreneurs use to grow their business. I must admit that some of them you’ll easily recognize, but I guarantee that most will be new.

So here you go! The startup resource list: 300 + tools and resources for startup founders and new entrepreneurs.
