Arkose Labs Launches LATAM HQ in Costa Rica

Silicon Valley tech startup Arkose Labs set up its Latin American headquarters in Costa Rican capital San Jose, from which it will serve clients throughout the region.

The California-based company hopes to hire at least 30 professionals in Costa Rica by the end of 2022.

Easy availability of talent and proximity to the US were factors that led the company to choose Costa Rica, from which it will offer account security and bot management services.

“Costa Rica and I have a long-standing, personal connection,” said Chief Customer Officer Patrice Boffa, who led the development of this office. “About a decade ago, I helped a tech company scale its local presence here from an employee count of 5 to 350.”

“This past experience proved significantly helpful in quickly building a presence for Arkose Labs in Costa Rica, as did the familiarity with the country, its culture, and the education system.”
