Tech Partners
Finding tech-talent is always challenging for startups.
One way of addressing that challenge is with "Tech Partners" - also known as outsourcing firms, consultants etc. I call them Tech Partners because they can come in early in your company process and actually build the entire technical platform together with you as a partner, or work with a CTO to move product development forward.
I've met several startups that have used outsourcing firms - with varying results.
That's why I decided meet recommended outsourcing firms in Stockholm and list them here. I've also included a design consultant specifically tailored to early stage startups that can help with mock-ups, web design, logo design, and much more.
If you have feedback, please let me know.
