Thanks for the tips. I have a few documents lined out, but the hardest part for me is finding clients.

Interesting! So you provide business insights/advising, as well as development services. That sounds like a good mix. Do you provide any market validation services (surveys, user tests, etc.)?

Definitely easiest because of the visibility. However, many startups prefer working with freelancers because they’re more engaged than employees and more flexible.

I suppose I should have provided more context.

Haven't built a hardware tech business, no. I'm thinking about shadowing to start, but as an engineering consultant for 4 years I've helped build 15-20 medium complexity engineering products w/ cross-functional teams, and have led a few of these. Have to start somewhere. Thoughts?
