Marketing Strategy: Where can we discover lists of upcoming new technology projects (public or private sector) for SwiftLaunch (easier implementations/delivery)? Thanks!

Austin Church, Build a profitable business you love. answered:

That's a bigger question than it seems at first glance. I might reframe it this way? How can SwiftLaunch generate more business? If you're focusing in on direct sales, I'm guess that has worked well as a traction channel. Have you tried any others? But the macro-level question aside, let me share two ideas: 1) If you're wanting lists of new tech projects and startups, then try Product Hunt. You can cross-reference interesting "candidates" you discover there with Angel List to see which of them seem to have raised funds (assuming that you're wanting to generate sales from these new relationships and that these companies need to have money). 2) Can you think of any non-competitive companies that already have the customers you want. Here's a bad example: a pool & spa company can share customers with a high-end landscaping and custom home building companies.

When you're reaching out to strategic partners, ask first how you can help them rather than asking for their help. Look for ways to add value to their sales and marketing. The rest should take care of itself.

Happy to discuss more tactics on a call.
