I am stoked to be launching my own firm this fall! Reddit has a few good suggestions on landing clients, but I’m curious to know if anyone else has any good tips or ways to network?

Realistically you should launch a firm with clients lined up.

Network and pitch heavily on platforms like upstart(maybe upwork, I forget) etc.
