In my last article, I talked about some of the most common startup terms that are used in the industry. As part of my research for that article, I came across a nice guide that was produced by Harvard University's Office of Technology Development. The guide was meant to provide startup advice and to be an "entrepreneur's guide".

I thought I would save you the time and share some of their insights. Coming from such a reputable source as Harvard there is bound to be some lessons to be learned from their experience working with startups. Don't let the name of the department fool you. The information in the guide is helpful for startups of all types not just technology startups.
