How it started
Our Story
How a painful encounter with a sea urchin led to a realization that outsourcing is broken.
In 2022, I stepped on a sea urchin while visiting my team in the Philippines.
Sitting in the ER (and laughing at my $3.41 medical bill) something clicked for me: growing a business is kinda like stepping on a sea urchin—it's honestly super painful.
Startups, agencies and mid-sized enterprises comprise 99% of U.S. companies. But, it’s never been harder to grow and compete in the global economy. During my time at Goldman Sachs, I realized multinational corporations have an unfair competitive advantage—access to top skilled talent all over the world.
After talking to hundreds of founders, I see the same pain-points every time: constant fire-drills, long to-do lists, and massive bottlenecks. Execution can't keep up, cash is a constraint, and building a full U.S. team is expensive and takes years to fully execute.
It's like stepping on a sea urchin every single day.
After drowning in tasks, I built and managed a team of incredible overseas operators.
These in-house teammates owned customer service, product operations, and sales enablement—and the results were fantastic. Clients had no idea these teammates weren't physically working in our U.S. office.
Our startup executed better, supported clients 24/7, and U.S. teammates were finally able to breathe and focus on the real strategic initiatives that moved the business forward. And, we never lost a single teammate—100% retention.
That experience changed my view on how we do outsourcing.
But outsourcing can be awful, and it's hard to know who to trust.
The problem isn't offshore, it's the approach of only treating offshore hiring like a call center.
When businesses treat offshoring like a call center, you get the same outcomes every time: low retention, low ownership, and frustrated customers. It's exactly what gives outsourcing a bad reputation.
But, it doesn't have to be this way. Our approach is the opposite: we directly place the very best offshore operators into U.S. teams.
There's millions of trustworthy, college-educated, English-speaking offshore professionals looking for an opportunity to work remotely for a U.S. startup. These are CPAs, Engineers and Operations Managers—top professionals with real experience and an impeccable work ethic.
We help them find a remote role at a U.S. company that values their skills, expertise and work-ethic. The result is high ownership, a long-term relationship and real value for your business.
Anavah Talent exists because we believe there is a better way to bring U.S. companies and global talent together.
I believe outsourcing is the best lever for businesses to get unstuck, support overworked domestic employees, and truly compete in the global economy.
After hundreds of placements, we've earned a 95% first-time placement rate, a 93% net-promoter score, and our clients have raised over $4 Billion since they started building offshore teams with Anavah Talent.
Our model is truly a win-win-win. U.S. startups get trusted, hardworking offshore operators for up to 80% less than U.S. rates. Global talent gets direct, long-term remote work that pays up to 10x their local salary. And, we only win when the match truly works for both sides.
Join us—we went to the Philippines (and stepped on a sea urchin) so you don't have to.
