Startups are a career time machine. One day you’re 23, and the first hire. Next thing you know you’re 26 and running a forty person department.

We’re a remote first company, but we’ve found we need a physical location for operations. I’ve spent the last few months evaluating every city, and what works best for us as a high growth startup. After weighing all the options it’s official, @wander will be HQ’d in Austin TX.

Raising VC is not an indicator of future success, and certainly not success in and of itself. It’s a small step on a very long and difficult journey. Success is building something people want, and a profitable business. Thinking otherwise is a common trap for early co’s.
