I tried it, company didn't ultimately work out but remote cofounders is fine as long as there's a high degree of trust and mutual commitment.
Remote vs. non-remote each have advantages. Remote gets fewer distractions (I find working in offices/near others very challenging when try to do focused work vs. home office), access to bigger pool of people, 2x "people coverage" for B2B sales/fundraising/partnership discussions, and more emphasis on results vs. ass-in-chair syndrome. Whereas local will have better and more frequent communication, less potential for misunderstanding, easier to bring the whole team to meetings, etc.
Bottom line: it can work, but you have to have the right people. I actually enjoyed it a lot.
