My 9-person company is 100% remote, but we have been from the start so we've always had that culture. Note however we all work from our own homes; we are not simultaneously travelling. I wouldn't take issue with someone doing that by the way so long as they could remain productive and within a reasonably number of timezones.
It's harder to grow the company because it's hard to hire junior staff that you train up to senior level. This is because junior staff need a lot of attention from senior staff to train them up (which is more challenging in a remote situation) and also they tend to be younger and don't necessarily have the discipline to work for long stretches of time without supervision.
On the other hand, this means we only have ever had senior developers working on the codebase so its quality is much higher than I have seen at other companies.
