Valid point - when I reread the statement as "hire someone full-time", whereas i had defaulted to "hire someone to do some work". "Would be a remote hire" - should have been the clue :-/ Working "for" the usa company remotely, is I believe, still quite different to "selling services to a foreign us company while self-employed under your own company". Right now for instance, I have a regular job, plus tominini which allows me to do additional work for whomever I like, with the onus on me to pay taxes / benefits etc. So yeah, Europe to me seems to take a generally very negative view of the "Uber/food delivery"-style of potentially abusive employee relationships, and you'd have to be careful about that, but I don't think it's an insurmountable hurdle. I guess narrow down the country and role description and it might get clearer, and contact some other startups like thenaturalist suggests.
