The mention of Mr Aswath Damodaran’s lecture on calculating beta is even more appropriate in the current scenario because with the markets going berserk over choosing between recession and depression, the investors are ideally looking for businesses with low betas. His website has some more invaluable content on valuation of businesses.

Another website that has good content to refer to understand the process of financial modeling is http://www.financialmodel.net . Their blog http://blog.financialmodel.net has a series of short posts discussing the critical points to be taken into account while building financial models for various businesses. From real estate business to online retail stores, the blog posts about the industries and businesses are valuable to read.

But you need to look at bigger ticket items -specifically people – if you really want to save $.

Here are my suggestions on how startups can save money:

Hope CurdBee will remain free unlike other web apps

The control panel rocks, and the resources per dollar is more than competitors. #linode on OFTC is also an excellent community resource.

Most of the invoicing solutions I found didn’t totaly fulfil my need, so I was little stingy to pay on them.

Recently I found a another invoicing app called CurdBee (http://curdbee.com), which was totally free. With my past experiences, I just gave it a try and it was really satisfying. I could bill any number of clients without any restrictions. Integration with PayPal and Google Checkout was just awesome.

So I recommend CurdBee, as a essential app if you are to cut down the costs and earn more from your startup.

They seem to be on top of things, and I like their community approach and tutorials.

Start-ups face too many demands in too little time with too few funds, which begs for extreme time management. It’s not enough to get tasks off our minds into organized lists. Because we do and think about what we see, we need clear visibility on what’s REALLY important, ONLY what’s important, WHEN it’s important. Total, Relaxed Organization (TRO) addresses this by merging David Allen’s great GTD principles (task-oriented) with focused goal-oriented principles (like Franklin Covey) in a simple but still GTD-like approach.

To clarify, our GTD software comparison page isn’t intended as a lead generator for our own software, which appears there on equal footing. Instead, the list helps us, our clients, and anyone else find the right software for their situation. We research these tools because TRO works on any platform or environment using a whole range of GTD-like applications, so we actively use and recommend those tools. It’s really about the training.

I hope the list is helpful to your readers!
