“As an Europe-based start-up that didn't have any experience in setting up a team locally, they've really handheld us the entire process. We were advice to assess the market first via insights and market mapping that really helped us to understand the local market better and re-evaluated the roles we needed for both now and in the future. This helped us to save on costs and established a good understanding about the challenges we needed to overcome to compete with well-established firms locally.” Client , Tech start-up
