2) Office as a Service: @FirstbaseHQ, http://fleex.com ...
Becoming the "OS for remote teams" is a big job.

9) Chief Remote Officers / Head of Remote as a Service
There's some great consultancy agency to be created here. Unless you're GitLab, who's great, I feel this is more a consulting gig than Full time job

"How do I ensure RW have the same chances of being promoted/career dev as in-office workers?"
Many slackbots, @Officevibe, will jump in

Sourcing tech roles was traditionally done by SF-based consultants, new entrants may come in.
