Chainguard, a fully remote cybersecurity startup, has raised $356 million at a valuation of $3.5 billion. With over 350 employees, it stands out among the 5% of U.S. companies that operate remotely. CEO Dan Lorenc emphasizes that being remote allows for greater access to niche talent. The company supports its workforce with stipends for coworking, home office setups, and organizes biannual summits for team bonding. While remote work offers advantages, Lorenc acknowledges the importance of occasional in-person interactions to foster trust and collaboration within the team.
