9 years ago This is a bit controversial, since you also have 37 Signals stating something else (heck they even wrote a book about how to do this!) and that worked out really well. In my experience it depends on how well you know the people you work with and if they are "relentlessly resourceful" as stated in piece #61.
"what about co-founders that aren't working in the same location? The answer is, don't do it. I am skeptical of remote teams in general but in the early days of a startup, when communication and speed outweigh everything else, for some reason video conferencing calls just don't work that well. The data on this is look at say the most successful software companies of all time and try to point to a single example where the co-founders were in different locations. It's really really tough." - Sam Altman
