Cybersecurity industry startup advice
Hi everyone, I'm thinking of building a startup with core focus on the following areas:
-
red team
-
penetration testing
- internal
- external
-
Vulnerability research
- Product Security
- Exploit Development
-
online platform training(hands-on)
Who are you and what kind of business did you want to start?
Hey, I am a vulnerability researcher with a total of few years of experience in the field in multiples roles such as penetration testing, red team, and currently working as a vulnerability researcher on my own. I want to start my own business in the way of providing high-caliber & quality services within our core areas. we also are going to develop online training for cybersecurity folks to keep up-to-date.
let's imagine. I have enough money to start right away, but we want to start providing services globally because where I Am living the market of cybersecurity it isn't so good. how will I manage to start in Canada, Europe or the United States or at early stages virtually providing services to clients, and build trust?
what do you think?
I think you are jumping way ahead of yourself.
One of the biggest pitfalls of young businesses is trying to run before they can walk.
Take a step back. If you think your business idea can work, then try it locally first. Dominate your town, then your city, then your country, then the world.
What you will learn in your first years taking on your local environment will serve you will going global.
I realise the market in your country may not be brilliant. However, even if you can work with one or two clients it will help your reputation for going global.
