Marc Andreessen’s The Pmarca Guide to Startups is a very good guide addressing the issues a high-tech startup founder will be facing.

• Part 1: Why not to do a startup
• part 2: When the VCs say “no”
• part 3: “But I don’t know any VCs!”
• part 4: The only thing that matters
• part 5: The Moby Dick theory of big companies
• part 6: How much funding is too little? Too much?
• part 7: Why a startup’s initial business plan doesn’t matter that much
• part 8: Hiring, managing, promoting, and firing executives
• part 9: How to hire a professional CEO

The post are quite long (except the last one), but comprehensive. Definitely a must for any wannabe-founder like me.
