I have experience in this area I must say: building a remote team depends on a few factors. Gather the data first don't make emotional decisions.
another perspective: maybe the core issue with building a remote team is something else. i mean think about it like this...

Look, most business owners make the wrong choice in situations like this. Be careful, hasty decisions often end in regret.

There's a common mistake people make when doing this. Everyone rushing into building a remote team gets stuck at the same point.
Correct me if I'm wrong.

I'm a small business, let me explain from my side. Everything goes well for the first three months; problems arise in the fourth.
Most time waste accumulates in tasks waiting for approval. Good luck with that.
Let's separate the concepts, they're getting mixed up. Solutions that work at a small scale collapse when you grow; I learned this late.
Thanks, this was very helpful... Don't hesitate to ask; those who don't ask always pay more.
If you have questions write them; I'll answer as best I can.

The cheap-looking path usually ends up costing more later. Don't hesitate to ask; those who don't ask always pay more.
Start with a small trial; don't commit to everything at once. Of course, it varies if your situation is different.
Let me share my experience. If you're offering equity instead of salary, also state what you're offering in return.

You're right. If it's your first time, start small; scaling comes later.
The biggest time-waster for us was not knowing who had the final say.
My question might sound amateurish, sorry about that. When listing put proof that the product actually works at the very top.

Three different views emerged they all complement each other. The real issue isn't the number but what it's based on.
If it's your first time, start small; scaling comes later. That's all, sorry if I went on too long.

There is something to watch out for. Start with a small trial; don't commit to everything at once.
Hope this helps.
I disagree with you on this point. If you get three different answers on a topic, the question was asked wrong.
Just leaving this note, it might be useful.
