Successful Startups Using offshore developers?
Are there any examples of start-ups that have been fairly successful (had some 10K users/acquired, etc) by outsourcing all development work on platforms like Elance/Odesk.
We at QwikDial (qwikdial.com) are a 2 member startup and were wondering if some had a similar experience that they'd want to share.
Thanks and also feel free to review our landing page (qwikdial.com). We are looking for beta testers. This page doesn't seem to work right on Google Chrome on Windows -- I can't click on any of the links. It's unclear looking at the page what exactly is being sold? Health insurance? Some other kind of insurance? What do pets and fitness have to do with it? I'm skeptical about any company in this space because often they talk as if you are going to get quotes without hearing from a second-rate salesperson. Maybe you're not doing this but you will pay for their sins regardless. I have a friend who runs a dev shop in India who runs the software development operations for startups who have the business operations elsewhere. These guys are world-beating at what they do. Thanks for the feedback. There seems to be some bugs and I will let you know as soon as we fix them. I dont want to give away anything about QwikDial, but would like you to take a look and let me know if it made sense. But not yet though, ill keep you posted. Thanks again! Paul,
