Frequently asked questions
How does Sipiteno deliver business development in Georgia differently from a local agency?
Sipiteno combines on-the-ground presence in Tbilisi (Tbilisi Tech Park & Innovation Center) with cross-border methodology refined across 28 markets. A local Georgia agency knows Georgia but may not have experience scaling business development programs internationally. A Western agency knows business development but lacks the local relationships and cultural fluency that matter in a market where warm and hospitable culture where social relationships form the foundation of business. Sipiteno delivers both — local execution with international quality standards, at $20-35/hr.
What does a typical business development engagement in Georgia cost?
Sipiteno's business development engagements in Georgia typically range from 8-16 weeks, $15K-$60K+. The exact scope depends on your objectives, team size, and timeline. We provide a fixed-scope proposal after a free discovery call — no hidden costs, and pricing that reflects Georgia's market rates rather than Western European premiums.
Why choose Georgia for business development over better-known tech destinations like Poland or India?
Georgia offers a specific combination that makes it the right choice for certain business development projects: Liberal business environment with easy company registration. For companies targeting Caucasus markets, Georgia's time zone, good English proficiency, and proximity make it operationally simpler than an 8-hour time zone gap to India. For companies prioritizing cost without sacrificing quality, $20-35/hr compares favorably to Poland's 40-70/hr. Sipiteno helps you weigh these trade-offs objectively for your specific project.
