Gumroad has one FTE (me) and 21 part-time contractors.

I write more about it here: https://sahillavingia.com/work

It was a natural outgrowth of working remote and then async to lean on the hourly contractor model.

It’s a little tough to scale, so we built some custom software to do payroll, contracts, etc: https://flexile.com

That is incredible! What hours on average do the contractors put in per week? That's such an interesting story, I'll have to read your book!
I read your book not long ago, thoroughly enjoyed it. One of the best business books I've read in a long time.
not gumroad user , but reading your stuff . question do you use your own payment/billing processor or are you using somtihng like stripe / paypall ?
