Ask HN: How to Find Clients as a Consultancy?
A month or two ago some friends and I got together and formed a software consultancy. We have a few clients, but we would like to be able to take on more, but outside of lucking out and meeting the right people, what else can we do?
- nwpwr 2y agoWhat kind of consultancy are you building? One easy route is to write blog posts! People who share their knowledge and then provide a CTA for their consulting services often stand out. If you’re focused on a specific stack then doing research on the dependents of open source projects can also be a great way to find leads. The most successful have a distinguished product or service if you’re doing outreach (eg performance, security, database optimization etc). Full disclosure I’m building Gitwallet.co which is a platform for open source software consulting businesses.
