Ask HN: Advice for getting connected with startups looking for experience?
I've had a successful lifestyle business for the last 15 years where I've held the role of CTO or COO. Recently for a variety of reasons I've been thinking about selling to my partner and leaving to try something new. But I don't feel like I fit well into many job descriptions. I haven't written a line of production code in ten years, but I've put together and managed teams that have made successful FinTech products with tens of millions of dollars in transactions going through them. I think that the most valuable skill I possess is that I can put together teams where people like to work for me and we get things done. I don't need to be a C level executive, but I feel like I have a lot of experience that could help a lot of startups be successful, but I don't really know how to market myself. My network is very small and specific to the industry where I've been for the last 15 years. My CV is fairly bland, because the last 15 years has been spent on my own businesses, which did very well, but you've never heard of them.
Does HN have any advice for getting myself out there in a way that I might find someone I can help?
