That spells out perfectly the recipe needed for a fast-moving innovative risktaking startup - the pizza, the schmoozing, the all-nighters.
Working remotely and meeting a couple times a month? Preposterous in the startup environment. We're talking Agile daily standups, sharing screens and keyboards during all-nighters, doing a pitch at an hour's notice, recruiting in the coffee shop.
Its fine to contract remotely, perhaps be a peripheral player in a startup, but to be an employee, much less a founder, there's no way to do it half-way.
