How can I find the ICP (Ideal Customer Profile) for my product/service?

To give context, I'm building a platform that helps companies connect with the RIGHT "non-technical" talent for their hiring needs. Everything seems to be ready in terms of operations, delivery, and sales tools. I'm just stuck in the loop of thoughts of finding whom to target. From your experience, how should I approach this?

How did you get your first 10 customers for your startup? ๐Ÿค”

I'm launching my product very soon that helps companies connect & hire the best Indian "Non-Tech" talent, and I'm curious to learn how can I find my first 10 customers once I launch. You're insights and experiences would be extremely helpful. ๐Ÿ˜‡๐Ÿ™

How to crack the "Chicken and Egg" problem while building a marketplace businessโ“

I'm building a marketplace that connects Indian Sales Talent with companies looking to hire, from across the globe. ๐Ÿš€ What should I focus on building first? The Supply or the Demand? Or both simultaneously? What are your thoughts?
