The Remote Team Failure That Changed Everything

I’ve never written a resume in my life. Not because I’m arrogant, but because I was always too busy building businesses to work for someone else.

My name is Luis Derechin, and like many of you reading this, I learned about remote team building the hard way.

The Crisis That Started It All
Picture this: 2001. I’m running JackBe, the first Mexican tech startup to get U.S. venture funding. We’re burning through cash faster than a Silicon Valley party, trying to compete with giants who have 10x our budget.

My co-founder Jacob and I faced a brutal choice: hire expensive U.S. developers and run out of money in 6 months, or figure out another way.

That’s when we made the decision that would change everything.

What We Discovered by Accident
We started hiring remote employees back in Mexico—not because we read some business book about “global talent,” but because we were desperate. We needed our dollars to stretch, and we needed brilliant engineers who could build core product features, not just handle support tickets.

Everyone told us we were crazy. “You can’t build your core technology with remote teams,” they said. “The communication will break down. The quality will suffer.”

They were wrong.
Our Mexico-based developers matched our U.S. team. They worked in the same time zones, understood our urgency, and delivered code that helped us compete with companies 100x our size.

The Framework That Emerged
That desperate experiment became REMOTE Intelligence™—the systematic approach to building remote teams that actually integrate with your business instead of becoming another management headache.
JackBe was acquired years later, but the real breakthrough was realizing we’d accidentally solved the problem that destroys most companies: how to hire remote employees who become true extensions of your team, not just cheaper labor.

Why This Matters to You
At Nir-Yu, we don’t just help you hire remote staff—we help you avoid the expensive mistakes that catch 73% of companies. Because I’ve been where you are: needing to scale fast, knowing remote talent is the answer, but terrified of getting burned.

Peter Schlactus

Co-Founder & Executive Director at A4DD

We used another service with higher fees that really started to bite when we wanted to promote a worker they had recruited for us. Then we found out that there was a huge penalty to leave them despite the inflated fees they had been charging us for over a year. Nir-Yu offered a much better deal and fair terms in case we ever need to part ways. Better still, they've found us near-sourced workers of equal or better quality using a process I feel confident about. Overall, Nir-Yu was a great upgrade for us.

Robert Cavitt

CEO at Jenkon

Nir-Yu has been a strategic partner in our Mexico-based resourcing for many years. Nir-Yu has consistently delivered excellence, in flexibility and responsiveness, as our business has reacted to marketplace demands. We have received the best of both worlds by realizing cost-savings with Mexico-based resources, while having all necessary controls over personnel and their relationship with our company.

Choosing Nir-Yu for nearshore staffing was one of the best decisions we've made.
