That's true! Also, when scaling one important factor is setting the SOPs correctly. In coding, same output can be achieved in 1000s of ways, but we need to take care that our team is clear about the approach even BEFORE they start working on it, especially the junior developers

[aloissaberlene]

Wow! I browsed videos to validate my feelings as a project owner with an investor, and the video content said it all—period! Do you have a group or network? I would love to join, learn, and share thoughts on running a software development agency.

[javajav]

Your audio here in this video is great, in other ones not as much. keep it up!

[ernestharuna]

I really want to try this path, I've watched some of your videos lately and I've really wanted to do something entrepreneurial with my developer skillset.

What I'm thinking right now is how to get my first customer, especially in this part of the world, I'm in Nigeria 🇳🇬 ..

Great insights for anyone starting a web development agency! I actually have a full setup (domain, hosting, social media) ready to go but don’t have time to grow it myself due to other commitments. Any advice on what I should do with it?

[mujtabafarhan]

What do you mean by ideal client ?. and do you have a course or more youtubes on how to actually make a software agency

[HerezCheez]

[calgary]

Do you use low code tool like Bubble to run your agency now besides coding everything yourself?

Great vid, what kind of microphone do you use?

Nice video, loved it except the background music, the video would be better off the music.

I have a software company in China, we can do outsource or custom software. We have experience over 10 years and have a stable team of 30 people. recently because I personally may go to North America to life. so I'm going to expand Canada or US market. but I have no idea how to start. I saw you're very professional. i'm impressed by you. so I wish get in touch with you. I don't know if you have businesses in North America. we can communicate with each other. at the same time, I know a lot about the China market and have plenty of friends. I don't know if you're interested in China market.
