Richard's References

As of 2022, this is a very dated (a decade old!) selection of references, opinions and comments on topics of interest to entrepreneurs thinking about starting a business and raising money from VCs.

Disclaimer: these represent the opinions of their respective authors and not those of Richard Dale, nor of my employer.
