8 years ago, I started my first business with more ambition than resources. Hiring U.S. talent was too expensive, and every time I tried to grow, payroll became the barrier. Out of necessity, I turned to remote talent and everything changed. With the right VAs, I scaled faster than I ever imagined, built a 25-person remote team as a 21-year-old and became a top 50 RE/MAX agent in the country.
The turning point came in 2019 when a remote hire outperformed a U.S. hire at a fraction of the cost. That was the moment I realized something fundamental: founders don’t fail because they lack potential, they fail because they lack leverage.
That insight is why I built Remote Leverage. Today, we process 1,000+ applications a day, hire only the top 1% global talent, and help founders scale without burning out or destroying their margins. We’ve grown to a ~$6M run rate with a world-class team across multiple countries.
My belief is simple: when you align the right people with the right cost structure, growth becomes inevitable. Every founder deserves access to elite talent that amplifies their time, their vision, and their company’s potential.
