What matters more is whether the team culture is motivating or toxic

Not relevant. All I’d care about is the quality of the founders and their plan.

Being curious here - How does the location matter in 2022? My thoughts: 1. IMO competition doesn't change if you work remotely or in person. 2. As a founder, I try to be authentic and address the needs of my customers and community. That is how I escape competition.

If their location matters in how you see your future ability to dominate your space...you're screwed either way.

Brand new? Fully in person. Fully remote won't last, hybrid is a sign they're just following the crowd and probably not going to innovate.

Ok, let's actually talk remote/hybrid/in-office work for tech (not VCs) There are likely some better suited to talk about this than me though the number isn't high, particularly execs. Been remote since 2010 for Canonical (started in Australia), Heroku & GitHub (Victoria)
