Today, I'm sharing my resource list with you. The sites below are communities we lean on to do our jobs at Rounded. If you've done reading about startups before, you'll likely recognize many of these if not all. The goal, however, was not to give you a bunch of obscurities.

Nicholson continues his travels in Asia and visits Kuala Lumpur to give a talk, and then is back in Singapore to speak at a conference.

We are all part of a larger environment that promotes learning, now and in the future – and we work together on this.
