For Companies Ready to Build LATAM Teams That Last

Since 2010, Mismo has helped US companies build integrated LATAM teams 一 across engineering, QA, data, product, customer success, and operations 一 all risk- and hassle-free.

What Is Mismo?

We have over ten years of experience helping US-based companies grow top engineering teams in Latin America, all risk- and hassle-free.

What Do We Do?

We help companies build integrated LATAM teams 一 not a collection of freelancers, but professionals who join your culture, your standups, and your product cycle. We support engineering, QA, data, product, customer success, and operations roles at all seniority levels.

How Does It Work?

We take a human approach. Depending on your needs, we can recruit talent for you to hire directly, contract professionals through our local entity (handling all payroll, benefits, laptops, and legal), or offer a flexible engagement where you start contract and convert to full-time later. All three paths deliver integrated, cost-effective LATAM professionals 一 with zero administrative headaches.

Our Story

Founded by two ambitious entrepreneurs—and husband and wife—Jinal Jhaveri and Forum Desai. They had already built successful SaaS companies with remote teams.

Opened first offices in San Francisco to connect talented engineers from Latam with startups in the US.

Opened office in Costa Rica.

Expanded our services to 100s of clients including fast-growing startups funded by top investors like A16z, Sequoia Capital, and Accel, among others.

Launched a tech platform to address the demand for remote talent due to COVID and grew the company by 200%

Reached 10+ countries in Latin America.

Added new services like full-time recruiting.

A Note From Our Founders

“Hiring the best talent shouldn’t be confined by geography. We are serving some of the fastest-growing companies in the US—like AngelList, Modern Health, NFX, and others—so they can unlock the power of Latin America’s tech talent. We’re passionate about bringing Silicon Valley to Latam countries, where talented engineers can benefit from working with impactful and innovative companies.

‘Mismo is a partner for companies that want to quickly hire, onboard, and retain technical and operational talent across 10+ countries in Latin America 一 through recruiting, contract, or our flexible hire-to-convert model.’
. This is mutually beneficial as US companies can find cost-effective talent solutions while helping bring the technological revolution to Latam.”

— Forum Desai and Jinal Jhaveri
