Nearshore with its feet on U.S. soil
Mexico’s cost and talent, with the peace of mind of a Texas company: contracts and IP under U.S. law, billed in USD, in your time zone. The border isn’t a hurdle — it’s the advantage.
Until now, a founder had only two options
Pure offshore
Cheap, but 9–12 hours apart, async communication, and your code under a jurisdiction you don’t know. You save money and pay in friction.
A U.S. agency
Comfortable and local, but $100–180/hr. You pay 2–3× more for the peace of mind of a U.S. contract.
iTech, in Laredo 🇺🇸🇲🇽
U.S. soil + nearshore cost + Spanish + your time zone. The peace of mind of a U.S. contract, at Mexico’s price. The third door.
The border, turned into an advantage
A U.S. entity
iTech Dev Corp is registered in Texas. Your contract, your IP (work-for-hire) and any dispute fall under U.S. law. You’re not shipping your code to a jurisdiction you don’t know.
Billed in USD
USD invoicing from the U.S. No odd wires, no FX risk, no tax surprises — like hiring any U.S. vendor.
Your time zone (CST)
Real-time collaboration. Your standup is our standup. It’s not “I’ll get back to you tomorrow” from the other side of the planet — it’s working the same day, the same hours.
The border, as an advantage
Laredo sits right on the Mexican border. Our engineering team (Monterrey, ~2.5 hrs away) is across the street, not across the planet. You get the best of both sides.
Real nearshore cost
Nearshore rates (LatAm ~$34–92/hr per Accelerance) vs $100–180/hr at a U.S. agency. You save 30–50% without giving up time zone or language.
Where each option lands

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hourly cost | $20–49 | $100–180 | $34–92 | $50–99 |
