DEVELOPING THE FUTURE
01

Our history

South Geeks was born in response to a widening industry epidemic in which low-cost developers were contracted without being sufficiently vetted in favor of saving companies money. This, often times, led to exponentially larger costs in the untimely and improper completion of projects.

It was changing this reality that encouraged Julia Duran to approach longtime friend Nicolas Valenti and create a new proposal. Together, they would combine over 30 years of experience to establish South Geeks and, in doing so, redefine the development model of the IT industry.

With a strict vision to conduct business consciously, South Geeks delivers the best product and service by carefully sourcing talent competencies from a wide pool of outstanding 14,200+ professionals distributed across Latin America. Once candidates are identified, they participate in rigorous testing before they are presented to clients.

At the end of the day, at South Geeks we care deeply about connecting our clients with the best talent to bring their brilliant tech ideas to life.

Our Name

South

We come from the southwest part of the globe. Our co-founders were born in Argentina and had their careers take off throughout Latin America. Along the way, they met many talented colleagues, most in Mexico, Argentina, Colombia, Chile, Brazil, and Uruguay.

Geeks

Let’s face it, when it comes to technology, we all want it handled by the ones that know it all… those who we affectionately call “geeks”. Only they can resolve seemingly impossible problems with just a few clicks without losing their cool. That’s why we love them.
