Build in public.
I started posting about my work on social media. Bear in mind that this is a website about local bureaucracy, hardly interesting stuff. People reached out, invited me for drinks, etc. I met a few of them, heard their feedback, gave mine. We met again and again and became friends.
We all build our own thing, but share knowledge openly and talk shop over a pint. Some want to talk about money and growth and others want to talk about the tech or even the ethics. It's nice to have such a variety of conversations spawned from a few tweets.
I'd also encourage you to reach out. Take the time to write to strangers on the internet. It's no different than walking to your neighbour's garage while he's working on something. It's how you meet people who like working on stuff.
