A winning model is raising in SV and spending elsewhere, but this requires distribution inside the company.

For better or worse, remote and in-person are not yet interchangeable experiences. The technology to enable the same depth of engagement has not yet been developed (and VR/AR won't solve it either). I ran a distributed team across three sites (all onsite) for few years and when you really wanted to talk things through, you'd hop on an airplane.
