Outsourcing your core competency does not work. In the midst of high-tech development, funding, and selling, someone has to keep the office network running, get processes documented, and manage to keep everyone happy and busy. Outsourcing any of these critical roles is very expensive, and usually not very effective.

What about outsourcing? For me outsourcing in a pure startup is the kiss of death. I believe that startup tech companies need to develop a technical DNA and this doesn’t happen when you outsource. Outsourcing early often happens when you have non-technical founders who don’t know how to get code out the door.
