I am shocked. No one has yet said 'Buy Crypto' :)

Wow, that's a ballsy move. Did the startup fail because of the recession time/lack of funding?

Thank you. You make some really good points. Right now, we are able to compete well with others in the "few thousand dollars" price range. Bigger clients don't entertain us(yet) because we are so small and obviously without the track record of handling big projects.

Can you elaborate on what you mean by productized consulting and hosting? Thanks

Thank you for the advice. Your suggestions on areas to focus on and SEO makes lot sense. I guess we have quite a bit of thinking and planning to do :) Glad that I am asking for advice here

Thanks. Any tips on how to build sales and communication channels? What worked best for you and what should we not waste our time on?

Thank you. that is a great insight.

Thank you for sharing. We mostly do fixed price contracts, but I am aware that the hourly logging software is annoying!

Cool. Did you build your network through Upwork-like platform? How did you get started?

Thank you! This is amazing advice esp. on hiring

Thank you. This looks interesting and something we should think about deeply

Good point! Yes, we have increased our rates but not kept them very high. I guess that's one of the reason potential clients continue to approach us. I think we are at a point where it makes sense to grow our team, but there are these constraints about wages etc as I mentioned in my description. We want to be as thoughtful and smart about hiring as possible. We are currently growing but we want to make sure whatever we do is sustainable in the long term. One option is to partner with other freelancers and sub-contract some stuff and we have done in few instances, but there's additional risk to that approach and probably not very beneficial in the long term

haha, this has happened to me during a half marathon. It cost me 10-15 mins as there was a big line outside the toilet
