031 - Rajiv Ayyangar (CEO of Tandem) On Remote Work Collaboration

In today’s episode, we talk to Rajiv Ayyangar, who is the CEO and Cofounder of Tandem. Tandem is a virtual office for remote teams. Fresh out of YC and coming off a big raise from a16z, Tandem is on a tear building tools for the ever-growing remote world. In this conversation, we talk about:

What is Tandem?

Is remote work actually growing? If so, why?

What does a typical user get when they use Tandem?

How does he think about replicating the office experience, but online

What are other companies pushing Remote Work forward?

What other industries interest you other than remote work collaboration?

What does the future of work look like in 100 years?

What advice would you give to a first-time founder who wants to get started?

And plenty more!
