I personally wouldn't target businesses. I'd network with people who are people-centric and who like to try new things. Those people would form the business connection for me later, by simply being employed, or by owning businesses. Then I'd say, "hey I got a new thing, wanna try it?" and if they say no, they are going against the grain of their own psychology by definition. So your base hit rate / sampling rate will be higher. To find people like this, what you'd do is ask around. Asking around is different for everybody, so you'll need to develop your own asking-around science/art, probably by looking into your past a little bit to see what kind of person you are, and what that has to say about what might work. For some people it actually helps to ask a matchmaker, like a literal matchmaker-type person. "I'm looking for somebody like..." Just as an example. Good luck, sounds like you have a wide open field in front of you & some fun times ahead.
