The playbook for the best global team

This email goes out to 300,000 SaaS & AI founders, tech SMBs, investors, service providers, agencies, and B2B thought leaders who are part of the NachoNacho ecosystem.

Remote teams have matured, and now we know what works and what doesn’t. Here’s the science of leveraging global talent to grow your business cost-effectively.

How to Build a Scalable, Remote-First Global Team

1. Rethink Benefits for a Remote World
Forget ping pong tables. Perks that worked for in-office teams won’t cut it for a remote workforce. Today’s remote team wants:

  • Health & wellness stipends
  • Remote-first perks like co-working passes or high-speed internet support
  • Travel credits to meet teammates in real life

2. Structure Onboarding for Connection, Not Just Compliance
Remote employees need early touchpoints to avoid isolation:

  • Assign a buddy/mentor
  • Schedule 1:1s regularly in the first 30–60 days
  • Introduce them proactively to cross-functional teams
  • Create clear expectations with metrics from day one

3. Adopt Tools Built for Global Workforces
You’ll need:

  • Job marketplaces to tap into global talent
  • HR platforms like Deel to automate onboarding, payroll, and compliance (15% off on NachoNacho)
  • Engagement & collaboration tools to keep the team connected asynchronously

4. Avoid the Pitfalls of Hybrid Confusion
Fully remote teams thrive when everyone plays by the same rules. Hybrid models—where some people are in-office and others remote—can create collaboration friction. Use tools like:

  • Async updates (Loom, Notion)
  • Remote-first meeting structures
  • Clear accountability frameworks

5. Embrace Global Talent as a Growth Lever
Hiring globally isn’t just about saving money—it’s a go-to-market strategy. Your global team knows their local markets, speaks the language, and helps you scale faster.
