| Are there any HNers here that run their companies completely remote? I am the founder of ideatostartup.org, which is a fully remote company. What issues have you encountered? Running a remote company has many advantages over non-remote companies. However, obviously it also depends on the sector the company is in. Remote only companies are possible only for a few sectors. Did you lose a lot of productivity? Is it harder to grow the company? The productivity in remote company is generally higher because only the best developers can thrive in a remote culture. Is it harder to grow the company? A remote can hire a professional from any location on Earth. If you know how to access the global talent correctly, it will be much easier to grow the company. I don't have a partner but I'm a very extroverted person, so I think I should be fine in terms of loneliness? Loneliness depends on the environment. If you stay alone in a house for long, you will definitely feel lonely. But, if you have good family or people who you can hangout with, you will enjoy working remotely even more. Hope this was useful. If you have any more questions, feel free to reach out to me. |
I don't have a family (gf, kids). When you say people, is that new friends you found while travelling?
