Wait a second:
We want to change the rules of the game in the sourcing advisory market
OK.
Would you know of any design groups or startups who may want to collaborate with overseas startups?
Damn, if we only knew someone in the sourcing advisory market. They could answer your question, no doubt.
Seriously: the irony is killing me.
- papkol 16y agomy bad :D sourcing advisors are sort of like management consultants who help businesses with decisions on what to buy and from whom (they charge a grand buck for doing this too)
- michael_dorfman 16y agoYes, I know that. You are asking us for help with a decision on what to buy and from whom, without offering us a grand buck. Presumably, this is what you meant when you said you wanted to change the rules of the game. Seriously: if your target audience are sourcing advisors, certainly you are close enough to several of them to be able to get some advice from them on your problem. The fact that you turned to HN for help in finding a firm to outsource your designing to, instead of to them, is puzzling.
- papkol 16y agowe are indeed trying to change the rules of the game - the idea is to draft in the concept of social proof, say someone similar using and recommending a particular piece of technology or service. having worked as a sourcing advisor these last 5 years (focused entirely on big and bulky enterprise software though), i feel the status quo is closer to a guru-speak model than true evidence-based research.
