Rahul Asati’s Post

We built a global tech company without ever sharing an office. 2022: I'm in San Francisco, new house, baby on the way. Jon O'Bryan's in Houston, his wife deep in residency. Atlas had no choice but to be remote from day one. This "constraint" became our superpower. We looked beyond the Bay Area bubble. Focused internationally. Best. Decision. Ever. Why? Cost-cutting, you may think. But nope. We're after supercharged talent and motivation. Silicon Valley's got plenty, sure. But for a startup? Fishing in that pond is tough. A 10x engineer there has a 100 great options to choose from. In countries outside the US, growth-oriented jobs are limited, and people are eager to prove themselves and move up in their careers. We’re tapping into that ambition to move onwards and upwards. That's the Atlas way. Global from day one, by necessity and now by choice.
