I've done that, but I was more wondering if there was some place (a blog series or something) that people here would actually recommend. The top hits are all just lists with single terms like "B-to-C" and the like. They're fine if I need to know a single term, but don't really explain much else.
For example: this article (http://www.techrepublic.com/article/glossary-startup-and-ven...), gives the definition for "preferred stock" (a random selection) as "stock that carries a fixed dividend that is to be paid out before dividends carried by common stock." As someone not in the startup business (and not knowing much about finance in general), this is not really helpful. I'm not sure what it means for a dividend to be fixed, nor is there a definition of "common stock" anywhere.
I realize this isn't really the right thread to ask, but these things come up all the time so it seems like there might be a respectable reference somewhere online.
I get your meaning now, fair enough. I think most of what you are interested in are financial/accounting terms, I don't know how specific they are to startups, other than most startups are built upon promises of finances.
