127: Offshore vs Onshore: A Tale of Two Development Approaches with Mike Franz of inSuppli

After working with three different overseas development teams to build out the software behind his company, Mike Franz took a different approach for the development of his company’s mobile app.

Mike dives into why his experience makes him a proponent for non-technical individuals to work with local tech teams over offshore development agencies and gives advice to startup founders facing development challenges.

In this episode, you will learn:

• How to gather user feedback before having a usable product
• Why your developers should be pushing back at least a little
• How a scope of work can get out of hand
• Whether offshore development is actually cheaper than onshore development
• Simple ideas for sourcing feedback
• Suggestions for startups facing development challenges
