Were those companies remote when they did YC? I can't recall exactly where offhand but I seem to remember Paul Graham (or was it Sam Altman?) saying that they were strongly against remote teams in the early stages. It was a few years ago though, I wonder if their opinions have changed.
- westurner 7y agoStartup School is now designed as a remote program. It'd be interesting to hear from them about building all remote team culture with transparency and accountability from the start vs also-remoting-now. Are text-chat "digital stand up meetings" with quality transcripts of each team member's responses to the three questions enough? ( Yesterday / Today and Tomorrow / Obstacles // What did I do since the last time we met? What will I do before the next time we meet? What obstacles are blocking my progress? ) Or are there longer term planning sessions focusing on a plan for delivering value on a far longer term than first getting the MVP down and maximizing marginal profit by minimizing costs?
