#116: The Do's and Don'ts of Adding Offshore Software Development Talent – Matt Watson


Listen Later

Last year I interviewed three-time software founder Matt Watson on this podcast about his successful practical founder journeys. Matt leveraged offshore software development talent in his last two SaaS companies to staff up quickly and grow efficiently.

His top developers and designers were offshore in the Philippines, but they weren't one-off contractors or difficult-to-manage outsourced agencies. He found an endless supply of top tech talent who became savvy members of his team, working hard every day to get things done fast.

So, for his fourth venture, Matt created Full Scale, one of the fastest-growing software development companies in any region. Full Scale vets, employs, and supports over 300 professional developers, designers, and testers in the Philippines who augment and extend your core dev team.

In this expert session with a Practical Founders Podcast sponsor, Matt shares what works and doesn't work for practical SaaS founders who want to offshore some or all of their software development.
