Startup Founder Required Reading

I’ve been asked to join a dizzying number of startups/companies for a specific role. By taking a job, I can help any of them, but I can’t help all of them.

I believe this role has the potential to be productized. I’m tossing around the idea of doing a self funded startup. I’m solid on the tech and leadership side of things - today I am in a role that would translate to a high level engineering leadership role in most companies - and I have above average design/marketing skills.

I don’t have any experience starting a company. I have questions that I’m not sure when to ask, and I have so little context I strongly suspect there are questions I should be asking that I’m not.

Things like:

* When should I seek legal council?

* How should I approach incorporating?

* What does the process of hiring employee number one look like?

Do folks have any good resources for this?
