Were the original 9 remote as well? Looks like the original two were remote - I just wonder what the composition looked like when they "hit it big".

- YorickPeterse 8y agoIf my memory serves me right, yes. Some of the early employees did work/live together for 2-3 months during Y Combinator if I remember correctly, but apart from that everybody has always been remote. Source: early-ish/current employee (#28 I believe, not exactly prestigious).
- josefresco 8y agoSo my follow up was/is - is this remote setup in fact their "secret sauce"? Seems like being a part of Y Combinator did more for their initial success.
- YorickPeterse 8y agoI think there is no single "secret sauce", instead it is a combination of many different things. This includes being all remote, because it does drastically affect how a company operates.
- jobvandervoort 8y agoYeah, we were all working remotely from the start. We never had an office. We moved in together for a few months during YC.
