How Not to Get Burned Outsourcing Tip of the Day...
Our experience has shown that good developers are poor designers, and good designers are poor developers. Don't work with a company that tells you otherwise. A key characteristic of 'software sweatshops' is that they're everything to everybody.
Yes, they may all of the skills internally, but you won't find one resource that's both a killer developer and a rock-star designer.

Good point, when applied to offshore organizations. However, I have worked with _many_ "locals" that qualify to be both, and prove it day-by-day.
Culture is an interesting facet you've called out here in this one post (I am sure you've made this point in other posts). There is a distinct difference in relation to culture, and it plays a key part in success - especially in startups.
I'll look through the rest of your posts to see if I can find a solution - or a modicum of a suggestion on how best to jump the cultural divide.
Take care,
Steve
