In an article published in the San Francisco Chronicle, Jim Breyer, managing general partner of the Palo Alto venture firm Accel Partners puts it bluntly:

“There isn’t a board meeting that goes by that we don’t ask, ‘Why aren’t you being more aggressive (with software development) in India and China?’ ”

It’s been a few years since the article was first published, but, given today’s economic climate, a team in India may just be what you need to impress the investors.
