    How a San Francisco Startup Cut Dev Costs 60% with LATAM Engineers | Nearshoring Success
    2025/06/12

    What happens when a Series B startup in San Francisco realizes they’re paying over $200K per year for a remote engineer—and getting no extra value from being in the Bay Area?

    They go nearshore.
    And they win. Big.

    In this episode of The Nearshore Cafe Podcast, host Brian Samson (Founder of Plugg Technologies) shares the true story of how one founder turned to LATAM developers to scale faster, cut costs, and build better—without sacrificing time zone alignment, communication, or talent quality.

    Here’s what you’ll learn:

    • Why hiring remotely in the U.S. no longer makes financial sense
    • How this CTO hired top-tier engineers in Argentina and Mexico—in just 48 hours
    • The real benefits of nearshoring over offshoring
    • How cost savings + faster delivery = competitive advantage in product development
    • What makes Plugg’s talent pipeline so effective for high-growth startups

    If you're a founder, CTO, tech recruiter, or startup operator, this episode will reshape how you think about hiring, scaling, and building elite engineering teams.

    Build-Operate-Transfer Explained: The Secret Strategy for Scaling Tech Teams in LATAM
    2025/05/21

    In this episode of The Nearshore Cafe Podcast, host Brian Samson, founder of Plugg Technologies, sits down with Jared Andreassen, executive at Blue Coding, to break down the Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT) model—an emerging strategy reshaping how mid-market and enterprise tech companies scale teams across Latin America.

    From setting up entire operations in Mexico City and Bogotá to navigating employee severance laws in LATAM, Jared shares tactical insights, real-world stories (including a wild rafting trip in the Dominican Republic), and a sharp perspective on the evolving nature of global tech hiring. If you're exploring Staff Aug vs BOT, managing burn, or planning a global footprint—this conversation is your blueprint.

    🧠 What You’ll Learn:
    ⏱️ 01:00 – What is BOT (Build, Operate, Transfer) and why it matters
    ⏱️ 03:00 – Staff Augmentation vs BOT: key differences
    ⏱️ 06:30 – Top LATAM cities for talent and operations
    ⏱️ 09:00 – HR, hardware, and infrastructure for BOT setups
    ⏱️ 15:50 – Risk, currency, and cost control in LATAM expansion
    ⏱️ 18:00 – Economic volatility and nearshoring in uncertain times
    ⏱️ 21:00 – AI’s impact on hiring models and tech ops
    ⏱️ 26:00 – How founders and CFOs should think about nearshoring now

    💡 Key Takeaways:
    BOT is ideal for companies needing in-office or hybrid teams at scale
    Time zone alignment and cultural compatibility are undervalued advantages
    Countries like Mexico, Argentina, and Colombia offer diverse team-building opportunities
    Local employment laws and severance rules can drastically shape your LATAM strategy
    AI is a tool—not a replacement—for smart global hiring
    Conservative planning + flexibility = winning in uncertain economic conditions
