I'm from a CIS country (Azerbaijan) and I applaud you for taking on the challenge of empowering the local workforce and exposing them to foreign markets. There's a lot of untapped talent in ex-USSR countries that can produce outstanding work for a fraction of the cost of their western colleagues, while earning a pretty high (relative to local) income. I for one am working for a foreign startup for $23/h and am living a quite comfortable, even luxurious life, while saving a good chunk of my income.

One question in my head was left unanswered while I read through your post and website: who is responsible for finding and connecting with clients? How do you do that (or how are you planning to scale your current approach)?
