Working remote is especially hard for small startups to do because it limits speed, adds overhead, and most importantly excludes an early member from adding directly to the culture. The startups I know either do not allow remote work at all, or have almost an entirely remote team / culture (> 50%).
- mswen 11y ago100% remote can work just fine for start-ups. That way everyone gets used to the communication methods. I was part of a team that built an award winning platform that was eventually acquired. We had people scattered around the US and in India. Technologically it was a success but sales traction sucked and so we disbanded but eventually the founder located a larger company willing to buy the technology platform and he joined as their CTO to adapt it to their needs. Would we have succeeded on the sales side if we were all in one place? I don't think so but it is unknowable at this point.
