Five Ways Nearshore Outsourcing Can Add Muscle to Your Startup
Sleep deprived but focused, they view every hour of every day as a productive hour; they certainly fill more than just a few roles at their fledgling company; and perhaps secretly, they wish they had just a SMIDGE more help in achieving dot-com rock stardom.

But if we COULD get their attention for just a second, we could help them understand that outsourcing, for startups, is no longer just an impossible dream, or an unreachable star. In fact, the growth of the kind ofoutsourcing that we do here at iTexico–using a nearshoring model which includes budget-friendly resources just across the border in Mexico–has made outsourcing for startups a very real possibility.
Let’s look at ǁhLJ staƌtups ĐaŶ Ŷot oŶlLJ suƌǀiǀe, ďut thƌiǀe, ďLJ opeŶiŶg the dooƌ to ĐoŶtƌaĐt seƌǀiĐes:
1.2.3.
Get Your Priorities Straight:As the lord of your fiefdom, you have a lot more important things to be focused on thaŶ ďeiŶg a ͞Đode ŵoŶkeLJ.͟ Loǁ-level coding tasks can best be left to low-cost talent, who likely can produce the work in a much more efficient manner than you ever possibly could. This is particularly true if the work LJou’ƌe tƌLJiŶg to do is Ŷot a Ŷatiǀe skill set. AŶd just iŶ Đase LJou thiŶk that LJou ͞ďaƌelLJ seƌǀiĐeaďle͟ J“ skills aƌe adeƋuate foƌ ǁhat LJou’ƌe tƌLJiŶg to aĐĐoŵplish?A recent surveyfound that 18 percent of failed startups tanked because of inexperience. A completely preventable outcome! New Horizons:Hiring outsourced services can connect your fledgling enterprise to a world of new possibilities and collaborations–connecting you to resources that you may not have known existed beyond the walls of your office, or the streets of your city. This is particularly true with the kind of nearshoring model employed by iTedžiĐo, ǁheƌe LJou’ll ĐoŶŶeĐt ǁith ƌesouƌĐes iŶ Guadalajaƌa –oŶe of the ǁoƌld’s fastest-growing technology hubs, and referenced in arecent Washington Post articleas the next Silicon Valley.

You’ll also haǀe a ǀaluaďle thiƌd-party adviser with whom to bounce off ideas and to troubleshoot. www.iTexico.com
4.Speed is Your Friend:There are just some things that outsourced help can do quicker! In your phase of development, speed is definitely your friend. Entrepreneur magazineprovides a handy listof the types of time-ĐoŶsuŵiŶg tasks that LJou should defiŶitelLJ ďe outsouƌĐiŶg, if LJou’ƌe Ŷot alƌeadLJ.5.Burn Bright, Burn Out:Two things are the sworn enemies of startups–not enough time, and not enough money. Outsourcing can bring you more of both–helping you to stretch your precious resources.
One last note–though outsouƌĐiŶg is aŶ AMAZING ǁaLJ to gƌoǁ, it’s aďsolutelLJ ĐƌitiĐal to ďe as ĐoŶŶeĐted to LJouƌ outsourced teams as you would be to those under your own roof. Collaborative tools make it easy to manage distant resources, but will also need to scale as you grow your outsourced teams. It will also be important for you to embrace, and respect, differences in culture that come from working with distant resources -- though this is a task made easier by working with resources in Mexico, which is more culturally aligned with the U.S. than most offshore options.
Once you crack the code, outsourcing can be the hero of your startup enterprise–allowing you to actually see your pillow on occasion!
