Notes on building companies. The good, the bad and the WTF.
I'm Tom, co-founder of RemotePeople and investor. I love writing about my first-hand experiences scaling companies from 0 to 10: what works and what doesn't.

Tom Kussmann.
Co-Founder of RemotePeople and Investor
I start, grow and run companies for fun and for profit. I believe any industry can be disrupted by the right technology.
Passionate about helping businesses expand into the Asia-Pacific region, I co-founded Horizons in 2018. We've built a global hiring platform that allows companies to hire anyone, anywhere. Our technology handles onboarding, contracts, payments, compliance and benefits. In 2026, we rebranded to RemotePeople.
RemotePeople has established itself as one of the leading players in the EOR and global payroll space.
Alongside building companies, I've been angel investing in early-stage software startups, particularly in global payments and marketplaces. I love partnering with bold, high-energy founders who genuinely believe they can move mountains and reshape the world.
Whenever I'm not working, I love to surf, play golf or tennis, travel the world or read a novel.
