It’s somewhat ironic how Donald Trump came to power on the rhetoric of reversing what he and his supporters called “too much of globalisation”. In fact, he was successful to an extent. He pulled out of, and renegotiated, trade agreements even if he couldn’t bring jobs back home from abroad.
But after Covid-19, the entire narrative and four years of effort took a logistical hit. Everything that could be moved online did, thus blurring the idea of border and space itself. As a result, remote work and distributed teams became increasingly common and embraced by companies of all sizes, especially in the technology arena. Naturally, local entrepreneurs saw a potential market, thanks to the burgeoning of tech talent demand along with an increased familiarity and acceptance for remote work.
