Are there any counter examples of remote-first new companies that built something exceptional while always being remote?

All open source projects are remote, including Linux. That's a rather exceptional. Not a company but shows that great, complex, engineering can be built remotely. Probably because engineers need focus and time to think. Gitlab is also fully remote.

Maybe not exceptional but Canonical is fully remote

HashiCorp, GitLab, GitHub (mostly).
