I've worked both 3-persons startups twice, once all sharing an apartment (with this exact reasoning: being together should make us more productive or increase motivation), one other time completely remotely.

In both cases, no member of the team know anyone else before joining the team.

Guess which one was more performant? The remote one. By an order of magnitude.

Two examples are anecdotal data, but so are 37 IMO. It almost feels like the title of the article was written before the experiment was done.
