10 Invaluable Web Apps and Tools for New Startups

Every day there are new startups launching, and beginning their — hopefully successful — journey, but not all startups consist of teams that are big in numbers, which means that many of the corporate and industry tools simply fall out of use; as they’ve been built with the big business in mind.

In my own attempts to launch products and build websites oriented around products, I have been able to learn about a few interesting tools and apps that have helped me, and countless others with expanding their business reach, but most importantly — helping to have a more community oriented startup.

I think that overall this roundup will cover the needs for management, collaboration, growth and social aspects that any experienced or new startup might encounter, do let us know in the comments about your own toolset that you cannot live without.

Lots of insights and data to work with. All for the good of your own startup.
