I recently talked to a Web start-up founder who had not heard of HN, PG, YC, MVP, etc. I'm sending him some links to pages I've bookmarked at Del.icio.us over the past few years. I also started to add tags to my bookmarks to indicate which pages I thought would be good for a start-up founder to read (most of my law clients are in that category).
But it seems to me that a community-based suggested-reading page would be better.
[EDITED FROM HERE DOWN TO RESPOND TO A COMMENT:]
HN seems like the logical place to host this kind of thing, because a reasonable selection of useful reading is already posted here.
The basic idea would be to let HN members tag articles as suggested reading in two steps:
1. First, let members do del.icio.us-style tagging of articles with one or more topics, e.g., marketing, sales, Ruby, etc.,;
2. Then, for each topic tag for an article, any registered member can cast an up-vote or down-vote (the way they do now for the article as a whole) to indicate that the article is suggested reading for a start-up founder on that topic.
Thoughts?
