Challenge
Natix, a Web3 and IoT software company, needed specialised talents for their computer vision and AI technology development. The challenge was finding specific talents that were rare at the time in Georgia, particularly for computer vision work. Additionally, the company needed to scale their team across multiple disciplines including marketing, operations, and tech specialisation whilst maintaining quality and cost-effectiveness. The partnership began in autumn 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic when both companies were in startup phases, requiring trust and commitment despite the uncertain times.
We were drawn to the Georgian market for several key reasons. The quality of engineers and the talent there stood out immediately. Also, the cost-effectiveness of their services and the time zone alignment made Georgia, and Caucasus an obvious choice for our partnership.
Whenever we faced a challenge, we immediately turned to your team. Vako, in particular, showed remarkable flexibility, ensuring we found a resolution effectively. The priority was always to resolve any problem, and your team always managed this efficiently and with great care.
We value our collaboration so much. It felt customised to our needs, not just a one-size-fits-all solution like you might get from other talent providers. That personalised approach made all the difference. — Alireza Ghods, Co-founder & CEO
