I co-founded a remote-first organization over a decade ago, and we beat the odds of how most businesses fail in the first few years - we're still in business today, and growing.

We were remote from the beginning, but we got together in-person more frequently at the start. It was helpful to brainstorm and get other ideas generated in-person.

Along with the other comments here, it seems the advice is to get together in-person more often at the start of a business. I highly agree.
