Depends on the size of the startup Only founders => in person 30+ people => fully remote

fully remote, founders who know how to work fully remote are unstoppable :D

Remote, because of recruitment. Especially in my field (AI/RL). Everyone’s distributed across US/EU/UK/Canada. Remote would have a huge benefit.

Going fully remote has made me happier and healthier. Fewer unavoidable interruptions to my focus time have made me more productive in the same amount of time.

I would have loved *Does not matter* as one of the options.

Fully in person The positive body-chemistry effect of synergetically working with people you like & admire in person is an insane productivity driver Team-flow 🌊

Hardware? Fully in person. People can be hands on and iterate quickly. Software? Fully remote. Global talent pool, asynchronous communication, less Sartre politics, and far less herding time.

maximum fear if they don't know each other and just exchange emails while travel across the world.

Not sure I would even consider one a superpower to be honest / would be more worried about their experience and clout

We’re currently 1 day in person - the rest remote and I find it hard to believe there’s a better balance
