Week2 - An Entrepreneur's toolkit

The article 'Build your start-up without building code' introduced me to a great variety of tools that I can use not just to launch a new venture but also to do well at my current job. I am listing out some of the tools here along with a few of my own.

• Code Academy - Learn or teach coding
• Balsamiq - Great for UI mock ups
• SnapzPro - Screen capture for web casts and training videos. Costs just $69
• iMovie - Video editing
• Weebly, Wix (free!!) - website building tools for businesses
• Qualtrics - Free online surveys (250 free surveys)
• 99designs, Crowdspring and Launcrock for design sourcing 
• Kickstarter and AngelList for venture funding

I spent a lot of time learning about these companies and their business models from their website. Each one is pretty interesting. Thank you for introducing me to these tools!

I am adding a few productivity enhancing tools to the list that any team of professionals can benefit from. All of these tools are cross-platform:

• GoogleDocs and GoogleDrive. Dropbox
• Evernote for sharing notes with teams and across devices
• Prezi for great presentations
