25+ Must Have Apps for Startup CEOs

You can use this as a place to organize your thoughts like one would on Pinterest, or you can use this a space for your portfolio. Really, it's up to you. Blogging and micro-blogging is defined by the user, so if you want to use a template that helps your embedded media from other sites like YouTube look really good, this is the place. You can basically make a band website, a corporate website, I mean, really, just about anything. If you're a highschool baller, you can put your highlights up there, too. Reserve your own username which doubles as your url, and you can mask your url by buying one from GoDaddy or a domain host from elsewhere, and now you have a fully functioning website that no one has to know is hosted by Tumblr. Enjoy 😉

If you want to find out about stocks and are ready to get involved in stocks as soon as you can, Robinhood gives you a pretty good jumpstart into that type of industry. They also give you a newsletter or news feed of what's going on, and what usually and generally has to do with the stocks that you buy. So it requires your sensitive information in order to verify your identity and send you your dividens. You do have to pay taxes on income such as stocks, so before you do actually invest in stocks, you can use your opened account to learn about stocks. And if you grab a code from a friend, you'll get $5 in free stock, and so will they. Pretty useful.

MicroVentures is another space to look into if you want to learn about startups in action. MicroVentures is a live marketplace type of experience where users can invest in a company or product, and can also sign up to list their own company or product to capture investments. If you want to see how startups raise capital, this is a good place to look.

If you want professional visibility, this is it. Facebook is good for business, but LinkedIn is great for business. The impression and response you'll get from LinkedIn will be drastically different because of the users and the culture of the two very different platforms. They may seem similar at first glace, but LinkedIn is a very high ranking competitor in the business-social space and should not be ignored.

If you need a place to find jobs or gigs from different people, places, or marketplaces, this is one to consider listing your skills at or searching for gigs at. If you want to find a good model of how some consistent selling freelance artists, try looking for successful creators on Fiverr to see what works in their approach to the app.

Another good place to list your services and goods to sell, Etsy. Some people say they have tough requirements which is something to be mindful of if you plan to use it as a primary platform. If you look into different platforms and marketplaces, they all may have different pros and cons, so be sure to check this one out and measure those differences to see if this is for you.

Just like Pandora, Last FM will help you find music in a similar fashion. You can look into your music history and you can find songs that are tagged in a way they kinda DJ themselves to you. If you've used Pandora then you definitely know how this works already. Having an alternative is pretty useful and you can find a different variety of music. It's also worth looking into as a replacement to Pandora if you need one.

Gmail is one of the most popular emailing services, and if you use it socially in a way, like corporate America sort of abuses especially during the holiday seasons from Nov-Dec but pretends they don't have a hardcore email grabbing campaign, you'll actually find yourself networking in a way that you probably wish you did before. So when you tap into your contacts and realize that emailing is one of the most normal methods of maintaining contact, you'll want to start an actual email campaign. Be mindful to how corporate it is to just send a bunch of "spam" out, and make your message authentic. Gmail is already really socially adapted so you can organize it pretty well using their service.

WinRAR is really good for opening RAR files, and its available on iOS and Google Play Store. Alongside RAR files, you can unzip just about anything even ISO files for you PC gamers out there. It's a handy all-in-one unzipper to use, so you won't need anything else, really. It's come in handy for a lot of sticky tech situations that other unzip applications can't help with.

IndieGoGo is a lot like GoFundMe and other crowdfunding platforms, so if you need an alternative, check it out. It's got plenty of traffic and use, and it's own community of interested people. There are categories and a lot of what I saw people use IndieGoGo for was art-based projects. So if you're looking to fund an album, video game development, or film, this would be a godd community to look into for  your next crowdfunding event.
