Course Description

What do Slack, Skype, Fab,Klout, and GitHub have in common?
They all started by outsourcing their product development.
They didn't have technical founders, they didn't recruit a team of in-house engineers, and they didn't have gigantic development budgets. Oh, and did I mention thatthey're now collectively worth over 20 billion dollars?

Great course. Even though I am more focused on physical products than software at the moment, the course was packed with useful insights and practical how-to.

So far looks like a good course.

By Anna p on 10/8/2019

I feel more confident now! Great explanations provided in an easy to understand and digestible manner! Thanks, Evan.

By Vasut Kolsa on 8/17/2019

Informative course, so far. We have no experience dealing with outsourcing and we have low budget. If Evn talks about such scenario and solution(s), then this course would match what we're looking for.

By Ben Bauch on 6/7/2019

awesome stuff as usual

By Steven Lambie on 2/17/2019

always good course from Evan.

By MARCO on 11/13/2018

So far, high quality, lets see how it goes...

By Damien Moras on 8/20/2018

Very general intro for people not really experienced at all in outsourcing.

By Omid irani on 8/8/2018

best outsourcing course i ever take .... could use bit updating regarding platforms (since it was created some major players marged
and examples are bit out dated
would also suggest adding some contracts templates and samples
more explanations regarding protecting the startup
and to make it perfect
course would even add some firms and freelancers that course creator used ...
this course delv in project management wireframing and other real life examples that are great start for people that are thinking outsource their projects
GREAT JOB!
