Nexton Lab's purpose is to connect tech talent with purposeful companies. Through this mission, the company levels the playing field for all LATAM-based tech professionals by boosting their careers beyond borders.
Seeing U.S. companies struggle to find the right senior engineers for their teams, while knowing that Latin America offers a wide pool of excellent tech professionals, made Agustin and Diego recognize an opportunity. They could create win-win situations by finding excellent candidates for U.S. companies, all while providing outstanding work opportunities that aren’t available in local markets to all LATAM-based engineers.
In short, what inspired the duo to launch Nexton was the idea of bringing remote work opportunities to tech professionals who don’t otherwise have access to this way of working.

Advice to Fellow Founders
"Our biggest advice is to build your company’s culture thoughtfully and carefully. It’s super important to create a workplace environment in which team members have a positive experience both through benefits (such as unlimited PTO, work-life balance, language lessons, etc.), and through everyday company values (for instance: transparent communication, teamwork, etc). This way, employee retention skyrockets, and your teams will stay motivated and productive! Moreover, having a healthy company culture is essential to getting through tough times."
