Ryan, do you also organize remote team retreats? I've heard some fully distributed teams love it once in a while going together to the sunny beach or climbing another mountain. If you do so, where do you go?

Funny you ask. Jacq on our team is planning our next retreat. Earlier this year we brought everyone to SF. The year prior shortly after the acquisition, the entire team (including AngelList) went to Mexico which was a great opportunity to get to know the broader team.

This time we may do an offsite elsewhere, which might be more fun and affordable.

Sounds awesome! So now, where can I submit my job application? Just kidding xD But if seriously that's cool. I'd suggest Southeast Asia - Chiang Mai, Thailand or Bali for your next retreat which would be fun and definitely affordable in comparison with SF.

Hi Ryan! It would be interesting to know your and Product Hunt's take on employee motivation. How do you manage to track it considering the remote setup? Do you have a special programme in place / bonus system? How do you approach it?
