I'd be happy to answer any questions about remote work. We've published extensively about this subject https://about.gitlab.com/company/culture/all-remote/guide/ and today we released a remote work emergency toolkit https://twitter.com/darrenmurph/status/1237771768020054016

>We've published extensively about this subject

For entrepreneurs or anyone thinking of All-Remote culture I think the hiring page is better [1]. And a list of countries that they dont hire due to legal reasons. [2]. And list of countries they have listed as cooperate entity for Payroll [3]

I think a lot of the issues and problems with All-Remote is not in the communication or working style ( which can be adopted ) but actually in the hiring and legals where smalls startups have absolutely no time, idea, nor the energy to do it themselves. I remember reading HashiCorp's founder saying the same thing where its was the hardest part of hiring across the world.

This may actually be startup idea to solve this.

For sure that is a big problem. I blogged about it in 2016 https://sytse.com/2016/12/28/adyen-for-payrolling.html and I'm excited to be an investor in Remote.com that tries to solve that problem. It is started by our old VP of Product Job van der Voort.
