Gusto宣布收购专注支持远程办公的初创企业Remote Team（土耳其）劳动力市场正在发生变化。越来越多的工人期望继续以远程方式工作，即使许多大雇主不愿意支持这一运动。这种大流行病拖得越久，未来的工作看起来就越是不同。正如TechCrunch所报道的那样，初创企业已经在未来的远程工作中投下了自己的一票，他们经常跨时区和跨地域地建立自己的早期团队。
这一趋势非常明显，我们看到私营科技公司正在进行收购，以更好地支持它。例如，今天上午，工资和人力资源供应商Gusto宣布，它正在收购Remote Team，一家专注于支持远程员工办公的创业公司。
作为其新闻的一部分，Gusto还宣布，它现在支持在80个国家支付承包商，并在美国所有50个州进行快速税务登记。
与Gusto不同，Remote Team是一家处于早期阶段的创业公司。例如，Crunchbase只有关于其历史和资本筹集的一丝数据。在Gusto首席执行官Josh Reeves看来，Remote Team大约处于创业的A轮阶段。撇开目前的筹资趋势不谈，这意味着这家较小的公司可能有客户，并且有一个刚刚起步的市场推广计划。
相比之下，根据Crunchbase的数据，Gusto已经筹集了近7亿美元的资金，最近在其账户中增加了1.75亿美元，估值略低于95亿美元。因此，用现在的话说，Gusto本质上是一个准IPO公司。
不管我们对目前后期独角兽市场的看法如何，Gusto可以为Remote Team提供一些简单地筹集更多资金所不能提供的东西，即规模。根据Remote Team首席执行官兼创始人Sahin Boydas的说法，将他的公司卖给Gusto是有意义的，因为它可以提供比筹集更多私人资金更多的全球企业足迹，而不是让初创公司自己去筹集。
博伊达斯表示，对更多国家的支持即将到来，这意味着Gusto支持国际招聘的能力在未来几个季度只会增长。
交易的条款没有披露，但Gusto的首席执行官确实表示，股权是交易的一个组成部分。稍微翻译一下，该交易是以股票和现金两种方式执行的。关于后者，里夫斯告诉TechCrunch，他的公司今年早些时候的E轮融资并不是为了资助公司的日常运营；Gusto在银行里还有前一轮的大部分资金。当你能筹集到额外的资金时，我们会补充说，当你想购买一些拥有技术或员工的小公司时，你想把它们添加到你目前的业务中。
如果Gusto在上市前再买一两家公司，我们不会感到完全震惊。（三家收购的公司分别是：首先是Ardius（一种基于人工智能的研发税收抵免解决方案）和Symmetry（工资基础设施技术的长期领导者），现在是RemoteTeam—）
在这方面，Gusto说它每年的增长速度约为50%，但没有分享更多信息。TechCrunch向Reeves追问关于其财务表现方面缺乏细节的问题，主要是好奇他为什么不在这个时候分享更多，因为我们希望在他的公司上市时能够回顾这段时间。正如我们向每一位CEO提出的问题一样，他的回答很有礼貌。
总结一下。Gusto专注于中小型企业，但这并不妨碍它看到对更多国际和州际招聘的需求，因此它正在调整其服务以满足这一需求。事实证明，看看Gusto与Rippling之间更大的竞争是如何进行的会很有趣。这两家公司有不和的历史，Rippling最近进行了自己的大型融资，以65亿美元的估值为其资金增加了2.5亿美元。
展望未来，我们很好奇Gusto和相关的私人技术公司是否会进入企业支出游戏，这是创业公司工作的另一个角落，在风险资本和市场需求方面都很丰富。你可以在一定程度上看到协同效应；Gusto希望帮助中小企业开始和经营他们的业务，无论他们或他们的工人在哪里。如果Gusto要帮助这些公司实现薪资管理，为什么不把另一类支出加入到这个组合中？

The story behind RemoteTeam and how a remote world became a reality.
10 years ago I moved to Silicon Valley, after many startups in Istanbul. Throughout these years and following, my startups were run with 100% remote teams. Since settling in Silicon Valley, I’ve met with over 500 investors, and raised from more than 50+ investors. For a long time, when I told investors we were a 100% remote team, most of them told me this was a bad idea. They told me many reasons why it was not a good plan: time zones, communication problems, lack of local creativity, etc. I even heard that remote work will not work. They gave me all the possible reasons why remote work was going to be my ultimate failure. Many people also told me that being a remote company was not going to bring in new investors and might, in fact, deter me from raising more capital. In addition, they told me I would be a company that nobody would want to acquire because larger companies mostly prefer local talent. These comments weren’t just from investors, but also from advisors, partners, and even other entrepreneurial friends of mine. I always felt defeated trying to explain all the benefits of remote work to my colleagues and community including investors. So I continued on knowing in my heart that this was the best approach to building a company and rarely mentioned this fact to investors unless necessary. I was content in going forward knowing my remote team approach was working and frankly, thriving.
RemoteTeam was an idea that came through the lifestyle of our founder Sahin Boydas. He was a remote entrepreneur in Silicon Valley who built and exited companies while working remotely. Sahin saw this trend of remote work, way before it became mainstream, and knew deep down it would become such an important factor for tech companies and competing large companies looking to have an edge against their competition.
Since the early days in Silicon Valley, the atmosphere has changed dramatically in relation to remote work. Investors, partners, advisors, and entrepreneurs now vehemently advocate for remote work, with many of the most successful unicorn companies embracing its advantages.
There’s so much interest and promotion of remote work, that it’s easy to see the 7 environmental factors that led to this boom in remote work culture:
📡 Better internet speed: high-speed internet made a remote living and work possible
🛠️ Tools like Slack and Zoom: platforms allowing group communication and ways to collaborate effectively and efficiently
🏞️ Inadequate and expensive talent in Silicon Valley
💵 The high cost of living in Silicon Valley:💡Thousands of resources and boot camps, which sparked the “self-taught” developer trend and made more talent available around the world: explosive self-taught programs allow anyone in any country to learn on their own given the boot camps guidance.
👩🏿💻 The rise of open source and rise of working together to build software: shared technology platforms allow for better collaboration and sharing of resources for engineers globally..
Remote work is now extensive. Covid expedited many trends in their infancy, and remote work happened to be one of these micro-trends that became completely necessary during Covid and beyond. We also see a more general trend of “talent is everywhere”. It is evolving faster, easier, and cheaper to become a software engineer. Silicon Valley itself cannot provide enough workers for the demand for talent. The number of disruptive startups in multiple categories is growing exponentially, further breaking down the limited resources like engineers required to succeed.
In a short period of time, RemoteTeam grew rapidly. Our team has reached 40 employees and thousands of users. Our dynamic team of 100% Turkish software developers and RemoteTeam's CTO Adam Dilek, who empowers and this team with his many years of experience, are what underlies RemoteTeam's rapid success.
We raised a seed round from notable investors such as Active Capital (lead), Larry Braitman, Adam Nash, Jude Gomila, CapitalX - Cindy Bi, Minal Hasan, IT-Farm, and many others. RemoteTeam became a prominent player in the remote work industry.
