Being tired working at faang I have a goal: start a small software studio. Question: how to get clients? How to get contacts to people/companies looking for software dev teams?

Sounds like you’re describing a consulting firm…if that’s the case, start with smaller gov contracts (think local) while you really build out your product offerings. Local IT budgets typically range between $25-$50mm and you won’t have to work hard for what they need, but you may get bored easily.
Don’t aggressively look for clients because you will drive yourself insane…showcase products (or samples) to the public with prices. Then you will get customers or potential customers (I.e. complainers).
I’m ex-FB and have a small firm, but going back to big tech soon to focus on a community org.
