OutsideHire
About

Nobody learns on your dime.

OutsideHire runs two practices: payments engineering, and managed sales teams. Both are staffed the same way, with senior operators who have already done the job.

The firm

OutsideHire runs two practices. We build payments software for gateways, processors, acquirers and ISOs, and we build and run the sales floors that sell it. Our founders come from payments, and so does every engineer on the team. We speak interchange, settlement, tokenization and scheme rules natively. On the sales side the same rule holds: the people who run your floor have run one before. No ramp time, in either discipline.

The model

We started as the payments engineering team other firms couldn't be, and extended into co-investment: we get paid the way our customers do, in basis points and upside. The sales practice is the same principle pointed at a different problem. You hire the person who has done it, not the seat underneath them.

How we get paid

You choose how we get paid.

Same senior payments team, same product. Three ways to structure the deal, from owning it outright to us earning basis points on the volume we help you grow.

Not sure which fits? We'll recommend the right model on the call.

Why it works

Senior payments engineers under American management, and a cost base efficient enough that we can put our own capital into a build instead of just billing for hours. That is what lets us take basis points or equity on the volume a product drives, and it is why we only get paid when the thing we built earns.
