Outsourcing a startup is a rational decision if an entrepreneur is not experienced enough or does not have a significant budget (which is often the case). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you and your team do not have the required technological expertise required to create a reliable and successful application, outsourcing a startup is a justified decision because it will provide you with a good result for a good price. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Currently, working with an outsourcing company from another country is as simple and safe as working with a casual company from your country. But cheaper. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For instance, in Ukraine, the software outsourcing business environment is so dense that the companies that fail to deliver quality products simply vanish from the market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Besides, some companies are full-cycle development organizations, which means they can build a product from a scratch and support it after the release if required. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is difficult to estimate how many software solutions were developed by a third party due to non-disclosure agreements or company policies. So, you can only guess whether some of the applications you use every day were outsourced or not. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Startup<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Some information is still available though. So, to prove our point, here you have 7 successful startups that were outsourced. <\/h6>\n\n\n\n

1) Slack<\/a>. One of the most popular workplace services for communication. Slack outsourced its design to Canada. The result is well-known: streamlined, stylish, and attractive application. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

2) Skype<\/a>. Another s-named messenger cooperated with Estonian IT professionals, who helped them to develop the product. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

3) GitHub<\/a>. Yeap, it would be strange if this service had not used the help of different developers from different countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

4) UpWork<\/a>. Naturally, the service that helps freelancers to survive used the help of free contractors as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5) Opera<\/a>. The Internet browser with a 350-million audience also outsourced developers from different countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

6) Alibaba.<\/a> The Chinese E-Commerce giant was also developed with the help of an outsourcing company. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

7) Fab<\/a>. Also a large E-Commerce company but from the US. Fab\u2019s founder Jason Goldberg worked with the Indian outsourcing company to develop his project. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And this list is only a tip of an iceberg.<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

Besides, some companies may also outsource the discovery phase or other business expertise. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, not all outsourcing companies are ready to work with startups as it requires unique experience, competent Business Analysts, and a certain degree of risk tolerance. Therefore, finding a company that is willing to work with your unrefined idea might not be the easiest task. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 21st century provides an unprecedented possibility to cooperate with people all around the globe so they can help you to make your idea a valuable reality. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
