From 8 to 24 engineers in 3 months
How one SaaS startup scaled faster and saved significantly with LATAM talent.
"We needed to grow our engineering team from 8 to 24 in under 6 months. Hiring locally would have taken 4-6 months per role and cost significantly more. With LATAM Minds, we hired 10 senior engineers in Venezuela and Colombia in just 6 weeks — at a fraction of the cost. The result? We launched our product 4 months ahead of schedule." — CTO, Series B SaaS Startup · USA
