Portfolio Question: What’s the easiest way to find other aspiring ad creatives to collaborate on a spec portfolio piece?

I’m 28, with no real connections in the ad world. I’m also not currently in a position to go to portfolio school. Any tips would be super helpful.

Fishbowl is a good place to start looking. Simple as changing that question from “how do I find creatives to collaborate with…” to “any creatives wanna collaborate on some spec?”

Wife has a services startup and in addition, has a great idea for a product / app that has the potential to be a B2B hit and B2C as well. Large market, creative idea and not too much competition. Will need sophisticated tech development. Given we are not dev / engg, what advice can you share with regards to getting someone tech hands-on with expertise on board? What are the different ways non tech founders approach this? Any ideas will be very helpful. Looking for a starting point. Thank you.
