Instead of relying on a recurring All Hands to communicate with the organization, it more important to spent time documenting and writing something before announcing it.

At 25 people, you can no longer have a 30 minute meeting in which everybody speaks.

The worst way to build your remote company is to start with a team in one location, and then hire someone that is eight hours away.

It’s still useful to build out concentrations of people (in a city or a country) because they talk with each other and don’t feel isolated. They tend to hire their friends, which means you can quickly build a hub by tapping into your employees networks.

One of the most important things is getting the nitty-gritty details of hiring and onboarding right. New hires need to have their laptop, a stable internet connection and a great remote work setup in order to perform their job well

All of our new employees get a handbook with a checklist of things to do. One of these things is to have calls with X people around the organization, mostly people outside of your own team, so that you start to build a rapport with people across the organization.

It doesn’t matter if the person is overpaid for their location, as long as they are the best person in the world.
