I appreciate how you’ve created a system that sidesteps the usual corporate pettiness.
That being said, historically a stable middle class was propped up by stable local jobs. Hiring cheaper foreign labour to fill skilled roles could see that middle class erode, which in turn can undermine the community fabric you might want in a healthy society.
I dont think this model requires hiring 'cheaper foreign labor'.
I use folks in SE Asia because i, myself, live in Bangkok. And some of the folks on our team are relatively senior.
But if I was in the US i'd try to run this exact system there.
From what i see on linkedin pretty much every experienced person from the digital space in the US has become a fractional something-or-other.
The US probably has more skilled freelancers than anywhere else. Because the minute a person gets laid off and cant find a job for awhile.. they almost always start freelancing if they can.
Fair enough makes sense. The problem with being a free-lancer is that all the reward (really) is kept for the business owner or working in a more strategic / C-Level role. But your overall model makes sense to me, thanks.

i agree... i think at some point if the freelancer is working for an extended period of time with you then u should offer equity.
Also as the value of the company goes up the freelancer will probably understand the value of what they are doing is also increasing...
