Startup founders make these three critical mistakes while working with outsourced product dev teams. ⚠⚠⚠ 

1️⃣ Blame game: When customers/VCs/partners complain about a feature or bug, Founder blames dev team. Outsourced tech teams become an easy punching bag for business issues. It quickly becomes a negative spiral 🔀

2️⃣ Not taking onus: Merely outsourcing and hoping for best results doesn’t work. It won’t work 100% of the time. Take ownership end-to-end. It includes a solid CTO (with skin in the game) with rich experience in design+dev. Don’t treat outsourced dev team as an expense budget 💪

3️⃣ Ineffective communication: Founders get busy in sales discussions & partnership meetings. They believe tech dev is covered (they are paying for it). Regular business updates/knowledge doesn’t trickle down to dev team in time, and they lack clarity to be agile 🗣

Solution 👉 Meet often + Make it effective + Be growth focused
