I think your best bet is to go on the recommendation of somebody you trust-- ideally, somebody whose been in your shoes, or somebody who advises others in your shoes. Personally, I got my lawyer through a recommendation by my auditor.
The problem is that right now I have nobody in my shoes. Got here in the U.S. 2 months ago, barely know a few people and all of them are not in the startup world. But I do agree with you that I need a recommendation
Sorry to hear that-- it's difficult to live the start-up life even with a good support network; to do so on your own will be quite a challenge.
Are there people whose judgment you respect that you can ask? Even if you don't know them well, they might be willing to point you in the right direction.
Honestly, I think that I NEED to improve my network and my blog is a attempt of doing so. I'm also joining entrepreneur groups and attending to meetings. Yes, I do have some people whose judgment I trust and respect and I go after them all the time but they are most located in England and Brazil.
