This is somewhat vague. Do you have specific actionable steps one could take once they have identified those companies?
- JSeymourATL 9y agoDo you have specific actionable steps > Find ways you can get referred-in to someone senior (anyone) who works at the target company. Look to connect with people, network at meet-ups, conferences, industry trade events. Finally, don't be afraid to go direct. Ping decision-makers at the target company via Linkedin (C-Level, VPs, Directors). See if they would be open to a brief phone conversation. You're interested in learning more about them, what they are working on. And explore if you can help. Generally, avoid HR Flunkies- their job is to say no.
