200 Startups Hiring Remotely in 2016
I started working remotely in 2014 and immediately loved it!
I worked in traditional offices for a few years before I decided to start working remotely: it has been both awesome and challenging!
Working from anywhere frees you from commuting, it also requires you to be organized and productive, everyday…
So, I created Remotive.io to share my thoughts and learnings, it’s now the largest newsletter on Remote Work.
In two years, we’ve connected with thousands of remote workers and hundreds of remote companies to create the largest database of startups hiring remotely!
We’ll also share the two trends on Startups hiring remotely in 2016 we’re observing.
Since 2014, Remotive has been featuring Startups working remotely and we felt like sharing our research with everyone.
We’re excited to share with you our Big List of 200 startups companies who are currently hiring remotely!
What’s inside the Database?
We’ve curated 200+ Remote Startups, including the following details on each:

Two Trends on Startups hiring remotely in 2016
Learning more about over 200 startups hiring remotely is very insightful, here is what we see happening in 2016:
1. From Office Space to Office-as-a-Service (OaaS)
In 2009, a former colleague damaged her thumb due to BlackBerry overuse. It really made me think about how connected we were, and connectivity has only increased ever since!
Technology companies like Slack, Zoom, Trello and many others let us communicate and work from any device at any time.
We’re still able to catch a plane and host a face-to-face meetup to create rapport!
Given the high-level connectedness during work hours, remote tech cultures use to be always on.
An increasing number of startups are adopting a “work can wait” attitude during off hours to ensure team members maintain a healthy work/life balance.
2. Co-Living: From Livelihood to Lifestyle
Recently, Bloomberg highlighted an example of an ex-Google coder making twice as much after pivoting to the freelancer’s lifestyle.
The data hints at this being a microcosm of a larger trend: Co-living is on the rise!
One case to support this prediction is California-based company Outsite.co gathers like-minded remote workers in Santa Cruz and San Diego to “Get away, get focused: Stay, Work & Play in beautiful places”.
Another being WeWork (valued $16b), who is doubling down on WeLive, we’ll see co-living rapidly progressing in the next year.
Takeaways
Sharing strong values and meeting face to face regularly goes a long way to keep everyone involved and create an enjoyable remote team experience for all!
