It’s not super clear to me, or maybe I don’t have deep enough knowledge here and that’s why it’s not obvious. Are the people that Company A hires through this service direct employees of Company A, or are they C2C paid hourly from Company A to Astro who then has their own C2C with the developer?

We love this question. We become the employer of record, similar model to a Professional Employer Organization (Think Tri-Net). We'll handle all the international legal HR stuff. Then Company A signs a contract with us to work with the teammate full-time and transfer all the IP, etc.
