They overthink company culture because it's core to their survival.", knowing he would be traveling often for business and personal reasons, and so has created an environment ideal for remote employees.

"Initialized was built to operate as a decentralized company, and I know it makes us a better firm because I'm not just in Silicon Valley problems and Silicon Valley solutions," Ohanian said.with leading the charge on remote working and thinks more companies will be forced to accommodate remote workers as younger employees begin joining the corporate workforce.
