I Will Give Advice on How to Form a Strong Technical Team on the Internet

I've bootstrapped a startup and built a solid social marketplace platform from the ground up with budget just under $5K which would've cost me $15K to build locally.

I Will Give Advice on How to Put Your Programmer's Hat Down & Be an Entrepreneur

Having a strong technical background is both a curse and a blessing as an entrepreneur. It's only a blessing if you know how to use it. I worked as a programmer for outstanding companies for 4 years and had been working part time as an entrepreneur half of time until I decided to jump off the cliff and build my own dream. Even though I thought I knew everything about lean startup, the first 5 months of being an entrepreneur was not productive because I still had my programmer's mindset. So if you have the same background as I am, and looking to be an entrepreneur.. Please don't make the same mistakes as I did.

What will be the biggest obstacles to offering offshore developer outplacement services to North American clients?

Based on my experience, the biggest challenge is getting the right talent that can pull off a quality work, I have done this by sending out small tasks to different developers and evaluate their works after. (But I guess this isn't your issue since you have 4 yours experience of working together). The next challenge I faced was time difference. Both parties need to be flexible enough with their schedule meaning working in the evening to get things resolved right away. Exchanging email with hours/one-day-delay to reply kills the momentum and motivations.

Let me know if you would love to get more information about my experience with outsourcing.
