Outsourcing the tech!?
My first attempt at launching a tech company didn't go as planned. A significant factor was outsourcing the technology to a company that primarily developed tech for others. If you search online, you'll find countless of these firms.
I aimed to partner with a European company, believing they would better understand the problem I was tackling. I chose an Italian firm, only to discover later that they outsourced their work to a team in Pakistan. They assured me they were building the tech from scratch, but after over 12 months of frustration and little progress, I terminated the contract. I then brought what they had delivered to a British company, which revealed that the Italian firm had simply tried to copy and paste my ideas into an app template. This explained why much of what I needed wasn't functioning correctly.
Overall, my experience was disappointing. Have any of you had better outcomes with outsourcing your tech?
Additionally, I faced challenges with incubators and accelerators, as they were hesitant to engage with a project lacking a technical founder on the team. This experience led me to step back and seek out a new problem to solve.
