I just finished my degree in AI & Data Science and I'm building out my portfolio. Practice datasets from Kaggle are fine, but they're clean and fake — I want experience with real, messy business data.

So I'm offering to build one small business a free dashboard. If you've got sales, inventory, customer, or website data sitting in Excel/Sheets/CSV that you've never really looked at properly, I'll turn it into a live interactive dashboard (Power BI or Streamlit) — trends, KPIs, whatever's actually useful to you.

What I'd want in return: the real data (I'm fine signing an NDA / anonymising it), a bit of your time to tell me what decisions you'd want it to help with, and — if you're happy with the result — a short honest testimonial I can use.

No catch, not trying to sell anything. I get real experience, you get a dashboard you'd otherwise pay for. First one or two people to comment or DM with a rough idea of their data, I'll take on.

Hi everyone,

I'm in the early stages of building a motion graphics agency focused on explainer videos, SaaS product demos, and AI-related animations.

I'm confident in improving the creative side, but I'm trying to figure out the business side—specifically how to consistently find those first few clients.

I'd love to hear from people who have been in the same position:

• How did you land your first paying clients?
• Which outreach methods actually worked for you (cold email, LinkedIn, referrals, Upwork, X, networking, etc.)?
• Did you specialize in one niche from the beginning, or did you take any project you could get?
• At what point did you start getting inbound inquiries instead of chasing every lead?
• If you were starting over today with no clients, what would you focus on during your first 90 days?

I'm not looking for clients or trying to promote my agency—I'm genuinely interested in learning from people who've already gone through this stage. There are so many different opinions online that it's hard to know what actually works in practice.

I'd really appreciate hearing your experiences, including things that didn't work as expected or mistakes you wish you'd avoided.

Thanks in advance! 🙂

UK estate agents, what do you actually use for your website and lead management? Mostly seeing US-focused tools (Zillow/Realtor.com integrations) when I look this up, curious what the UK setup actually looks like, or if people just cobble together separate tools.

I am looking for people in india who has genuine ideas which they completely believe would work out but they just arent starting because they are scared to start alone or does not have the capital to do so. i would like to talk with you guys.
