I will not promote — just need advice from fellow startup entrepreneurs

Hey everyone, I’m now based in the San Francisco Bay Area.

I’m starting a development agency to help early-stage startups and small businesses turn ideas into real products. Whether it’s building an MVP, scaling an existing app, or providing a dedicated offshore team — that’s the direction I’m heading.

Quick background on me:

I work with:

• Frontend: React.js, Next.js, React Native

• Backend: Node.js, Express, Supabase, Firebase

• Databases: MongoDB, PostgreSQL

• AI/API Integrations: OpenAI and others

• DevOps/Automation: n8n, serverless tools, cloud platforms

I’ve built and designed dozens of products, and now I have a small but strong team of 5 devs/designers in India. We can scale fast and deliver at Indian pricing — but that’s not my pitch here.

I’m not here to promote. I’m genuinely looking for feedback and ideas from others doing similar things.

If you’re running a dev agency, working with offshore teams, or supporting early-stage founders, I’d love to know:

• What’s working for you in terms of client acquisition?

• How are you building trust in the early stages?

• Are there any strategies or lessons you wish you knew when starting?

Also, if this aligns with something you’re building and you’re open to collaboration, I’m all ears.

Let’s connect and share what’s working. Appreciate any thoughts, and happy to answer any questions too!
