Learn, connect and get support from other founders & executives
Running Remote Community is a membership for leaders building & scaling their distributed companies while getting the support they need, when they need it.
People who actively run remote operations for their established companies of min 5+ employees. Whether you’ve been remote-first from the start or just transitioning now it’s a place for you. Founders who are scaling & building their business and need help with remote management.
Executives who are focused on making flexible work as easy and rewarding as possible for the company’s employees. People who serve as a cross-functional internal consultant to evolve key pillars e.g. L&D, knowledge management, and onboarding so that each function becomes more effective in a distributed setting.
Every member of our diverse community has been in your shoes. They’ve built remote companies like HotJar, Toggl, Zillow, and Gitlab. They understand the struggle of building and running a remote-first company.
Learn how to cultivate a thriving distributed company culture that helps employees stay connected and fosters the communication that builds trust. Help employees feel seen, even as they work remotely.
Find ways to optimize the company’s structure and operations to better align with the demands of diverse teams working across time zones. Learn relevant tools & best practices.
Get insights on team camaraderie & learn how to make sure people feel a sense of respect and appreciation. Develop processes and platforms for scalable connections.
Navigate changes in distributed settings. Find out how others transitioned from office-base to remote-first companies and avoid mistakes they’ve made.
I’ve been a member of this community for several years, and it never fails to deliver high-quality first-hand advice. From the peer-to-peer masterminds to the 1:1 connections made with members who are going through similar challenges I’m always grateful for the extra layer of guidance I receive here.
Running Remote Community is a great place to connect & learn from other remote-first founders & leaders, I couldn’t recommend it more. I especially loved being paired with peers for mastermind sessions. It was invaluable and reassuring to hear that others shared some of the same challenges as we have, and inspiring to hear how they had tackled them.
I’m constantly impressed with the level of collaboration within Running Remote community. Leaders from a wide variety of global companies come together to share knowledge, form community, and raise the bar for what remote work can be. The conversations go deep – these folks know their stuff, and I’m proud to be learning and growing with them.
What an amazing platform for exchanging remote work challenges and learning with and from others through open discussions, conferences, and great content! I love the office-hours channel that features a different remote work expert bi-weekly who answers any questions about building & running your remote company.

Do you have a question about masterminds or want to know more about us? Choose a time, let’s discuss how the Running Remote Community can help you!
Running Remote Community is for founders & executives (i.e. C-level executives, HR and People Ops professionals, Heads of Remote) who are actively running and leading remote-first (or hybrid) companies with over 10 employees.
The community is not intended for non executive managers, junior employees, marketing, consultants, coaches & sales professionals, and companies with less than 10 employees (whether that be contractors or full-time employees).
We are vetting every application to ensure high-quality connections and opportunities. To apply, we ask you to fill in a short questionnaire to understand your unique challenges and expectations. We’re reviewing applications on a weekly basis, so expect an answer from us within 5 working days.
Once accepted, we will send you a link to pay for your membership so that you can get access to our Slack workspace and other resources and we can begin the onboarding process.
We understand that your time is valuable, so it is absolutely up to you how much time you’ll spend in the community.
However, we have consistently seen that you get out what you put in: Often, the biggest contributors are the biggest beneficiaries.
The feedback we consistently receive is how much our remote leaders appreciate the true unity and collaboration within our community. They also especially love getting together at our annual Running Remote conferences, as it feels like a face-to-face reunion of people they’ve gotten to know so well online.
Given that the yearly membership includes a ticket to the Running Remote conference at a pre-sale price, the community is priced to be accessible for remote leaders at $899 per year. We also offer a plan that does not include the Runinhg Remote conference ticket at USD399/y.
In order to maintain the quality of connections, opportunities, and information, all applications are thoroughly vetted and only founders & leaders of remote-first established companies are eligible to join.
Trials make more sense with things like SaaS products, where once you’re in you get a general understanding of what a full commitment will look like and the capabilities that are available to you.
We work to make sure that the community stays a relationship-centric thought exchange and relationships cannot be built in a short month-long trial period.
However, while we do not offer trials, you have an option to sign you up for a free monthly community newsletter so that you can see what members are talking about and get a feeling what it’s like to be a member.
We value the time of our community members as well as the content that is distributed. Part of the vetting process is to make sure that people who join will actively contribute to the community, can relate to the caliber of what is discussed, and are not there purely to sell their own projects or perceive it as a great leads list.
Financial commitment is asked to support the effort from our team that goes into curating this community, organizing monthly events, peer-to-peer masterminds, personal introductions and more. We do provide a script to send to your employer if the Running Remote Community is something you’d like reimbursed as part of your education credits or benefits.
The PRO membership includes a free ticket to the Running Remote conference, making it a fantastic investment for a business into their remote work efforts.
Running Remote conference & community is focused on sharing stories and practices to thrive in a world of distributed work.
