We treat our global hiring strategy like 'Moneyball', hiring talent from anywhere in the world instead of just major tech hubs like San Francisco and New York.

Remote operations have allowed Y Combinator to widen its net, enabling startups from around the world to participate without relocating to Silicon Valley.

The agglomeration of talented individuals in San Francisco fosters innovation and the creation of impactful companies.

After Y Combinator, we raised a Series A and had to adapt our processes as we hired more people, which is an ongoing challenge as we grow. Building a distributed team wasn't intentional at first; it was a necessity to find engineers, which led to organic growth and advantages like hiring from anywhere in the world.

Our company is distributed across 30 countries because we search globally for the right person for the job, regardless of their location.

Remote teams can be problematic for startups, especially in the early days when communication and speed are critical.

We can only hire the best talent in Silicon Valley, which is why Flexport was founded here.

Experiencing a high-density tech environment in Silicon Valley can lead to valuable connections and insights that significantly benefit early-stage companies.

Our team is distributed across multiple time zones, which provides a global perspective and empathy towards our international user base.
