I really wish there were more case studies available out there to show whether the "always remote" startup approach can work.

Having to be in the same room for many years at the very beginning of building a high-growth venture-backed startup is considered a law of the universe at this point, and it would be interesting to know how much not following it actually hurts you.

Does this only work for people who really have their shit together and maybe have started / sold successful businesses before?
