How to partner with agencies?

Hi there,

I recently started a software development agency, we currently have 2 projects which are coming to an end (a crypto start up and an internal mobile application) and no upcoming projects.

Those projects came from my personal network, we (I) haven’t done any marketing yet other than some cold but very personalised emails where I looked into their company and software and suggested functional and design improvements (even paying a designer to re-design some pages of their site).

My hope for the agency is to stay focused and narrowed on building high quality software reliably rather than on marketing and design so I’m thinking the best thing to do would be to partner with agencies and offer a “white-labelled” software development service which they can outsource to.

I’ve reached out to a few agency owners without luck, I think because:

• We’re new
• They already have someone to outsource excess projects too
• They get spammed with this kind of offer on a daily basis
• Timing might not be right

As an agency owner, how would someone go about forming a partnership with your company or forming some kind of relationship with you?
