I'd be very happy if you sent me a message about your model, my address is marius@tolud.com. We tend to describe ourselves as "the tech team for your (tech) startup", our goal is to be a one stop shop for tech-heavy startups and companies. We work with Node.js, TypeScript and React/React Native. We've created a bunch of quite unique libraries and components that help us develop a lot faster and with less bugs (I can get into detail over e-mail). The company is new (founded in March 2017) and so far I just used my contacts from the past to find us work (7 developers, 2 analysts/consultants), but this source is quickly drying up. Right now we're finishing our website and my plan is to go to some meetups, but I'm not entirely sure it's going to help and I'm afraid I'm going to lose time. Our biggest problem is that we don't have much of a portfolio, only a bunch of internal applications we can't really show. Clients I found online don't trust us and/or want our services extremely cheaply, which is a problem because our developers are senior guys that charge a bit - but that was a deliberate choice, we want to make high-quality software.

You can find my contact info in my profile. Basically in short, what's worked for me is side project marketing: - Create a tiny free product, that solves a tiny problem for your target customer - Promote your side project. Since it's free and frictionless, it's so much easier to have it spread on the internets. - On that side project, there should be an email subscription form somewhere and your main service as an upsell. This exact model is pretty much all we do and it's resulting into at least 5+ figure each year worth of client work. We spend zero time networking or doing all sorts of stuff that is time consuming.

  That's a good idea. I considered something similar, but different - I merely thought about having the SaaS app as something to point out as a reference project. Thank you for your time!
