The $3B API That Didn’t Exist, Europe’s Regulation Problem | Marcelo Lebre, Co-founder of Remote

Marcelo Lebre is the Co-founder and President of Remote, the payroll and international employment company. Remote is one of today's most underrated software companies. We get into why payroll is such a hard problem, why most of the industry still runs on spreadsheets, the edge cases of software meeting government, and a diagnosis of Europe’s regulation problem. We also talk through the journey trying 8 different startup ideas before Remote, how COVID changed the business overnight, and what he’s learned about building culture and running remote teams. Thanks to Gillian O’Brien, Villi Iltchev, Andreas Klinger, Masha Bucher, and Marcelo’s co-founder Job for helping brainstorm topics for this.
