What I need help with

My background as an entrepreneur

My current challenges

I am still in the planning stage. I am looking into how can I market my services to potential customers since I intend to work in a very niche field. How do you find your first clients - that is basically the one question that has been on my mind.

Actions I’ve taken so far

I created a business plan. Did market research. Collected some feedback from digital artists as to the services I intend to offer and their need for such services.

My future goals

To launch my website at the beginning of 2023. To look for clients. To find funding for future growth.

My motivations to work with a mentor

To hear sound advice and perspective from someone who has done it before and can guide me in the right direction.

LLC (name TBD)

LLC is intended to be established in Brooklyn, New York with the expectation of rapid expansion in the legal services industry, focusing on IP issues in Blockchain, crypto and digital art, NFTs, Web3, AI, and DAOs
