Pretty much what you said. For client sourcing I just asked a few founder friends if they would be interested in contracting a part time dev and they were. That was unituitively one of the easiest parts.
Also, the market rate as a contractor is quite a bit higher than as an employee which helps cover some of the time that isn't billable.
- ikeyany 10y ago> I just asked a few founder friends Ah. It all seems so simple when phrased like that. To be an insider...
- tedmiston 10y agoI wouldn't necessarily say that. I live in a third- / fourth-tier startup ecosystem and started here from scratch about 3 years ago. Taking a job for a company still working in the space provided by the accelerator (which happens to host lots of meetups) was one of the best things to happen to me though, even if that company ultimately failed. (I got that first job blindly off AngelList with no connections.)
