Suggestions and advice are very much welcome

Hi,

We made a team of web developers, graphic artists, few programmers, business people and some other marketing people. We are planning to start an small startup business that develops and designs a website, develops system and some other programming stuff (please note that I'm one of the marketing guys and I'm studying basics of programming right now).

I just want to gather some information on where we can get our first client and where should we look for clients. It would be good if we can land a big project soon. (Note: Doing this for additional information as I've already done quite a bit of work on getting some prospective listings but we are yet to send out emails). I hope I can get good responses. By the way, I'd like to exclude here the freelancer and upwork website as those two sites and related sites are so crowded already.

Thank you very much!
