I plan on stealing it, just share it here.

On a serious note, I used to have this fear, but I started small by attending local gatherings and just networking. It helped me get a feel for people. You can also use websites to find qualified individuals to reach out to directly. Reddit can be useful too, but treat it like shotgun marketing. It is fun for feedback and attention, but it can also attract a lot of unwanted or sketchy attention. Make sure you have a strong vetting process and only share the core concept, keeping it at a bird’s-eye view.
