Outsourcing Software for Startups: What Goes Wrong (and How to Prevent It)

In this podcast, we explore the most common pitfalls startups face when outsourcing software development — and how to avoid them. While outsourcing can help early-stage companies scale faster and access global talent, missteps in communication, scope, and execution often lead to costly setbacks.

We dive into real-world stories and best practices from founders who’ve experienced both the risks and the rewards of outsourcing. Topics include:

• Why startups choose outsourcing to build MVPs and scale quickly

• Common mistakes: unclear goals, wrong partner choice, scope creep

• Practical tips: starting with test projects, over-communicating, and choosing founder-minded developers

• When outsourcing makes sense—and when it doesn’t

• The in-house vs. outsourced model for product development

Tune in to learn how to structure, manage, and lead outsourcing partnerships that actually deliver.
