Build your team at 50–70% of US onshore cost. With executive-search rigor.

Funds backing the startups we've placed talent for
The cost of US engineering hiring broke.
A funded Series B can't afford 18 months of runway on a single senior hire. Nearshore isn't a workaround — it's the rational default. Here's the math.
Figures reflect total compensation (base + equity + benefits + taxes) for senior-level talent. US data from Levels.fyi 2025 and comparable SF/NYC Series B startup data; LatAm figures from Venture People internal placement records. Actual savings vary by role, level, and source country.
Three verticals. One assessment standard.
From your first engineering hire to the GTM leader that turns on revenue — at LatAm cost structure, US-grade calibre.

Executive-search methodology, not staff aug
The Venture People Assessment (VPA) is a 10-criteria framework built across 400+ placements. Used by board members and VC partners when stakes are highest. Now applied to your nearshore hires.
89% retention after 12 months
Most nearshore vendors stop measuring once the contract is signed. We track retention because mis-hires don't just cost the fee — they cost runway. 89% of our placements are still in seat one year in.
Same timezone, fluent English
São Paulo is 1h ahead of NYC. Mexico City is 2h behind. Buenos Aires is 1h ahead of NYC. Your standups happen at the same time. Your Slack response time stays at minutes, not hours.
AI fluency is a hard filter
Every senior candidate we present is assessed on applied AI fluency — not LinkedIn buzzwords, actual workflow integration. In 2026, engineering or product leadership without this is a liability.
"I've watched too many founders burn six months of runway and a cap table full of options because the first wave of leadership came in wrong. We built Venture People — now in the US — so that mistake stops being the default."
Milton Daré · CEO, Venture People
