In this episode of Tales from the PROS, I chat with Co-founder, Fernando Carrera on how he organically bootstrapped a large web and mobile development agency in Caracas, Venezuela called Turpial Development. Fernando Carrera founded Turpial Development in Venezuela during the tough internal crisis and political unrest within the country. He has grown the web and mobile development company into over a 30 man team.  Fernando and I discuss entrepreneurship, startups, Venezuelan economy, South America, international business, outsourced development, outsourcing, scaling a company, technology, struggles and obstacles, and much more.   Follow Fernando Carrera: Website: http://turpialdev.com/en/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/turpialdev Twitter: https://twitter.com/turpialdev Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/turpialdev/ Follow Michael Georgiou: Podcast Website - https://www.talesfromthepros.com  Company Website - https://www.imaginovation.net  Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/TalesfromthePROS/  Twitter - https://twitter.com/MGeorgiou22   Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/the_mgeorgiou/  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJv9pbImovknEluSLzAPTpg/featured
