Looking to outsource start-up support services to the Philippines? Or curious about what individual job roles you can support with offshore staff? Here’s what you need to know …


While the naysayers would have us believe that launching a start-up is a financial risk not worth taking, we have worked with enough clients to know there are countless examples of entrepreneurs who have turned their great ideas, products or services into corporate gold. In fact, the reason we have got to know so many of them is we have played an integral role in helping them continue to shine when they feel the pressure of exponential growth.

Rapid growth is on the wish list of all start-up founders, particularly those intelligent minds who have stepped out of executive roles at large organizations to launch their own companies. Venture capitalists are always on the lookout for the ‘Next Big Thing’, with investment in U.S. FoodTech companies increasing from $60 million to $1 billion in seven years(1) and the number of FinTech start-ups receiving investment deals recently soaring by 40%(2) in one year.

For an entrepreneur overseeing a well-funded start-up that boasts a winning product or service, there are few better feelings than knowing demand is set to soar – and few worse moments than realizing they lack the resources to capitalize.
