I believe this is related and not just a coincidence: in watching "How to Start a Startup" [1], Sam Altman specifically points out his skepticism of remote founders and remote teams. I personally am in agreement.
Jump to 28:20 to hear the question/answer. Also note that Sam is the lead investor in the B Round of Reddit.

- lockes5hadow 12y agoThis isn't a start-up though. His 'data' hardly seems applicable to a company that's already the size of Reddit.
- pdq 12y agoConsidering Reddit has 51 employees (Wikipedia figures, which could likely be out of date), and considering the site still goes down periodically even after being 9 plus years old, I'd definitely call Reddit a startup.
- frostmatthew 12y agoSince you got the number of employees from Wikipedia I thought I'd link to their definition of a startup[1]. Which, as it turns out, is not actually based on number of employees or amount of downtime... [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Startup_company https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Startup_company
