First-Time Founders Resources

This here is a curation of resources, templates, best practices, examples, and everything in-between I wish I had when I first started my entrepreneurial journey.

Most (if not all) the links and resources are free and can be found around the web. Credit goes to each owner/creator of their respective link/resource.
