Remote vs Hybrid vs In-Office: What's Working for SaaS Startups in 2025

The remote work debate is over—sort of. After years of experimentation, patterns have emerged. Here's what's actually working for SaaS startups.

The Current Landscape

Based on our work with 50+ VC-backed startups:

- 40% are fully remote

- 45% are hybrid (2-3 days in office)

- 15% are office-first (4-5 days required)

Our Recommendation

For most Series A-B SaaS startups: Start hybrid, stay flexible.

The best companies don't obsess over where work happens. They obsess over outcomes.
