Remote hiring for Early-Stage Startups

At seed stage every dollar of runway is a week of survival. A small, high-leverage remote India team lets a two-founder company ship like a team of eight — full-stack engineers who own features end to end, a designer who makes it credible, and support that keeps early customers happy — all for less than one senior US hire.
