Trust. You have to get in with someone who is embedded in the community (like myself) to have people recommend you and put out a few products at a greatly reduced cost to show what you are capable of.

I am the founder of Silicon Beach Young Professionals 22,000+ member group which is comprised of early to late stage startup CEO's, founders and digital executives who are always looking for trusted tech.

Until you have something out there (call it the cost of marketing) for the reduced cost for someone who can vouch for you it will be tough.

Help someone else and it comes back to you 10 fold. TRUST.
