There's Sam Altman's Startup Playbook. That would be my recommended starting point.

On the other hand, worrying about what happens at IPO is premature optimization until well down the road from raising money. That said, selecting good investors is a good idea. By "good investors" I specifically mean investors with a good track record investing in Silicon Valley style startups. This implies that "startup" carries the specific meaning it has in Silicon Valley and not the every-new-business-is-a-startup meaning that it carries among entrepreneurs and investors just about everywhere else.
Lastly, there's also Graham's Before the Startup. I'd recommend that based on the implications of "Startup's for Dummy's" in regard to "playing house."
Good luck.
