Hello everyone, I've been starting up a computer research laboratory and have been struggling to get enterprise clients for custom dev services or contract work. I've tried cold emailing, calling, and LinkedIn but haven't had any luck. Are there any specific communities or networks where large companies look for people to do this kind of work?

Where do you go to discover companies for your specific task when you can't get suitable reccomendations?

Normally a google search local to my area, or LinkedIn occasionally. A google search is my go to option, then read reviews, ask for references and get quotes
