Don’t expect a contract company, either offshore, onshore, or near-shore, to implement a vision that is still in your head. Startups are often distributed entities, so adding and managing freelancers, contractors, and outsourcing firms is not a big step. Focus on operational processes, rather than innovative new ones.
