Related question: I recently left my previous job and am now looking for consulting work. I have never done consulting before. I have RoR / Ruby / machine learning / startup experience. How should I go about finding clients?

Go to conferences and shake lots of hands. You don't need 150 clients, you need 1 or 2 great clients. Like dating, it's a numbers game.

I don't think you have to push your RoR experience, since many business owners won't get it.

Find out what problems business owners are having and offers suggestions to solve it, even if it's doesn't include your services.

Not hiring exactly--looking for co-founders who are in the fortunate situation where they can work for no salary indefinitely (and get equity of course).

Same as you, except "a subsistence wage in the Bay Area" instead of "no salary" :) (see my profile)

How's the New York scene for tech jobs? I'm going to try for a job in New York at some point (more in direction C++), but New York is not particularly know for being a tech hub in this sense. What's your personal impression about the availability of non-web related programming jobs?
