No offense, but these startups by nature have NO IDEA if their employees-over-subs strategy will work. There's one quote in the article from a VC who says the following: "When you look at the level of churn amongst the employee base and the customers, the high reviews from workers, the high customer-satisfaction rating — they were proving it from hard-core business metrics.”" No mention of revenue of course, just user-survey style measurement. Also, a quote from a VC who invests money into the subject of the article is not exactly unbiased. What about data from long established businesses, who have moved from subs to part-time and full-time employees? "Full stack startup" reads more like a marketing strategy then one created for long term financial success.
