    This is very inspirational. I am in a similar situation from when you started the agency. Just got laid off from my tech job and Really got thinking about the direction I wanted to go in my life. This is definitely something I can get into, that can be a bridge to my actual Software/Hardware company as a whole. Appreciate this video.

    Do you think I could start an agency with purely contractors and free lancers, I have lots of sales experience and I understand bubble and other no code apps very well, I just can’t actually code or produce apps myself.

    I found the easiest way to find your first few clients is your friends and family. When I started, I sent out an email to EVERYBODY on my contact list and I got my first client 7 days later. After that the word spread a bit. No question, networking helps to, but just letting people know you are available for hire can go a long way.

    We don't really have this. However once we had a case where we had to deliver software in a very short period of time then we got the extra bonus. Anoter interesting case is to become affiliate partner of your client. For example you develop a software for our clients and help him distribute it. Then for every new paying user you get % :)

    I'm based in Canada at started my Custom Software firm in 2014. The one thing I'd say that's a big advantage in starting a software business is there is very little you need to get going. I was worried about business registration, payroll, etc...but really, the main thing you need to get going is your first client. Everything else (business registration, incorporation, hiring, payroll, benefits etc.) I figured out as I went along. So my recommendation is just focus on getting that first client.
