Ask HN: How can I start a small software shop?
Hi!
I am first year electronic engineering student from Poland. I really like web development, had worked on handful of small projects and I feel I could start doing software for local customers.
I have moved in here six months ago, currently I have no business contacts, except for rather large network of software engineering students.
Dear HN, where should I start to get at least mildly successful?
- sillysaurus3 13y agoAre you sure you want to? What I mean is, are you sure you want to become a salesman rather than a web developer?
- basicallydan 13y agoI think when he says "shop" he means it on the sense that an "auto shop" is a place that makes or fixes cars. So I think he's talking about starting a small bespoke software company. OP can you confirm this? If so it sounds like you're half way there with your experience!
- max-a 13y agoThat is exactly what I mean. English is not my native language so maybe I was a little bit ambiguous.

- max-a 13y agoIt's a major city in Poland. Competition here is quite big, however I am not planning on fighting them, obviously.
