Why founders pick our nearshore teams
Your hours, your language
Our developers work across Latin America, so you get live calls and daily overlap instead of overnight handoffs.
About a third of U.S. costs
Nearshore staff cost roughly one third of a U.S. team, so your budget covers more features.

A process that has shipped 200+ builds
Our field-tested 5D Process takes your idea from discovery to launch and keeps it running after.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a nearshore app team cost?
Nearshore staff come in at about a third of the cost of a U.S. team. Support and maintenance packages start at $625 per month for up to 5 hours. Full build pricing depends on scope, so our Discovery phase sets the budget, plan and schedule before development starts.
Where are your developers based?
Founders Workshop is headquartered in Arizona and serves clients across the United States. Our delivery teams are nearshore, based across Latin America and the Western Hemisphere, in your time zone.
How long does it take to build an MVP?
Our 5D Process runs Discovery in 2-4 weeks, Definition and UX Design in 4-6 weeks, Development in 2-3 months and Deployment in about 1 month. ALBedFill's MVP was delivered in three months.
Can you take over an app another developer built?
Yes. We support apps built by our own team or by other developers, integrate with existing codebases, run code reviews and refactoring, and can transition you off your current developer.
Do I need to give up equity for a technical cofounder?
No. You hire the team you need and keep your equity. Our team of 25 senior developers, designers, testers and project managers fills the technical role.
What happens after the app launches?
Our D5 Support and Maintenance service covers 24/7 server monitoring, database backups, user analytics, monthly reports, feature updates, and App Store submission and listing maintenance. Tiers range from 5 hours to 159 hours a month, or a custom plan.
