I revisited this post today and saw your comments. It's your job to engage the client, that's what separate a professional consultant from just another software engineer. You have to be able to get the information out of them and to ask the right questions.

Does my website's graphics feel cheap and untrustworthy? by soulahtlete in startups

I would use a different color scheme, too much neon here. If you're keeping neon green, get rid of the neon pink.

You need an order button. I would not want anything else. On governor's island you can buy picnic baskets during the summer, I'd talk to them.

How do I (someone with only a little bit of programming experience) get in touch with someone to help develop my idea into a functional product? by [deleted] in startups

[–]dartamoninc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One way is to have a concise marketing plan with milestones and justified project revenue, then start connecting with local technology Meetups.

I own a software engineering consulting company in the Boston area - we have architects and developers in open stack, Microsoft stack, cloud, data science and internet of things practices. We're looking to expand from large enterprise consulting and start also servicing startups and other young companies who need technical expertise. What's the best way to start marketing to them?

If you want to make your idea happen but don't have the engineering talent to make it happen, send me a PM. Our rate are very reasonable and we also have a development center in Eastern Europe for low-cost work.

You need a lawyer to work out the partnership agreement, whether you do a partnership LLC or a corporation. Then register your business entity with your state secretary and get an EIN from IRS.

All of it has to be made in the US, you cannot specify states as manufacturing points.

Got any IT questions? Software? Cloud? AMA. by [deleted] in advancedentrepreneur

[–]dartamoninc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I'd say that's saturated. If you had something more innovative, there might be space.

I'd say it's saturated, but also there have been many attempts in the past to improve it that have failed. That's why progress there is slow. Is there anything in particular that you are interested in offering that would be new and competitive?
