In this episode, we interviewed Peldi Guilizzoni. He is the Founder & CEO of Balsamiq. Balsamiq helps you to go from ideas to prototypes in no time. It is basically a rapid wireframing tool that reproduces the experience of sketching on a whiteboard. Balsamiq is a fully remote-optimized company with their main headquarters located in Bologna, Italy. Everybody working at Balsamiq, works from home.
In this episode we talked to Peldi about, why did Balsamiq choose to go remote, legal realities of the virtual world, tips for founders, how Balsamiq solves the isolation problem, and preferred tools for working remotely.
Show highlights? Peldi started hiring A-class candidates all over the world but soon he was faced with a wall of legal realities. To have employees located somewhere else, pay taxes at the same time and do payroll, is the right thing to do if you want to protect your employees and your company. At Balsamiq, they work really hard to fight isolation and loneliness.
