Reddit has something similar but I thought it would be nice to orient this to startups:

I'll start:

Learn some Photoshop. Really get a book and learn just the basics. It makes a huge difference when you have the ability to change a wording or color on the fly versus waiting for the graphics person.

Oh and one more, always ask the designer for the psd (Photoshop) files not just png or jpg - this way you can easily modify it.

If it is an exciting startup and you don't have much marketing dollars, start a blog, apply to be a HuffPost blogger for the tech section, create a wiki/crunch base page, and brand the business online, and then begin reaching out to your favorite tech writers for mentions in their pieces that has to do with the industry your startup is in.
