It's still the early days of remote work but it's coming... It's really hard to turn an office culture into a remote culture. I experienced this at my last employer (Heroku). We hired a ton of great remote staff, but there was always an impedance mismatch. Lots of local people still want to solve problems face to face. It's much easier to start remote from scratch. I am doing this with my new venture (Convox). There are challenges. The high bandwidth face to face time is indeed better for problem solving. And is truly important for serendipity. But we are willfully trading those things in to work from home, live all around the country, and not spend money on an office. Even YC is behind the curve here. They make you move to Mountain View and tell you distributed startups don't work.
