My co-founders and I are building a small company trying to help small businesses tackle annoying admin tasks that no one wants to it, but has to.

My problem is I have no connections in the space. I need to find the most “hair on fire” problem but can’t find enough owners to talk to. Anyone else run into this and could steer me towards what they did when starting a business?

I’ve tried offering $10 coffee cards, but most people don’t answer emails these days.

    I appreciate your gusto but I really think you’re gonna be battling uphill on this one the entire time. “Small business owners” are way too large of a demographic, so maybe figure out a niche business where you could help those operators with niche solutions.

    Your intentions are good but a $10 coffee card is not compelling for me to help you start your own business. I will consult someone on how to start their own version of what I do for tens of thousands of dollars, but otherwise I’m laser beamed focused on my own brand OR taking mental breaks like this and zoning out.
