How Offshore Hiring Extends Your Startup Runway by 18+ Months
Offshore isn’t just about saving money — it’s about unlocking speed, scale, and flexibility while preserving equity.
Why it works
- Hire faster in deep talent pools (e.g., Vietnam)
- 24/7 progress with split time zones
- Lower burn → better fundraising leverage
- More experiments per dollar
Common misconceptions
- Quality: Vietnam produces world-class engineers/designers
- Time zones: async + overlap beats meeting-heavy schedules
- Legal: EOR = compliant full-time hiring without an entity
Start small, scale fast
- 1–2 engineers
- Contract designer
- Virtual ops assistant
Prove the model, then scale confidently.
