Sumble grew 25 to 42 people in months; CEO explains why remote teams still need offsites
antgoldbloom · x · 2026-11-03
Anton Goldbloom (ex-Kaggle) shares why his distributed startup Sumble invests in offsites: the 'half life of trust' — in-person experiences build and renew trust — and creating room for speculative projects that remote work lacks. Since May the team grew from 25 to 42, mostly in go-to-market; having GTM spend time with engineers helped them convey the product's craft to customers.
