Marvin Mändle · Answer

Always in-house and don't have any experiences with outsource projects. But I think we are pretty lucky with our CTO. I'm stunning week for week what he is developing, because I'm not that much in development.

Jose Garrido · Answer

If you can in-house then do it. The most limiting factor at the beginning is money. Once you have money you can start outsourcing some tasks and scale

Martha Schwarz · Answer

Always in-house, if you are making a product you need to develop, design and build, otherwise you cant control it

Answer

Strategic adaptability
Retain core operations in-house while outsourcing for specialised knowledge.

Chuck Alvarez · Answer

When deciding whether to outsource or keep development in-house, consider factors like project complexity, budget, and available expertise. Outsourcing can bring new ideas and cost savings, while in-house development offers more control and alignment with company goals. It's important to weigh these factors based on your specific needs and resources.

Answer

For specialised knowledge, go outside
 for close integration, stay inside.
