As travel spikes post-pandemic, digital nomads everywhere are on the hunt for the best locations and services to help them work remotely. Remote work is a hot topic as 9-5 desk jobs decline in popularity, and with so many companies switching to being location-independent, many startups have blossomed to help employees live and work around the world without constraints. Investment into the sector is also pouring into the booming sector, and with over 210% global growth year-over-year since 2015, VCs are paying attention.

Co-living spaces like WiFi Tribe are making it possible for remote professionals from all backgrounds to travel the world while they work. The trend of professionals living, working, and travelling together brings a new meaning to work-life balance. Digital nomad living spaces like Selina, plan to expand worldwide so remote workers can stay anywhere and work anywhere while exploring the globe and networking with like-minded individuals.

As teams continue to be globally distributed, companies require the tools necessary for their employees to communicate remotely. Notion works to blend everyday work tools into one, while companies like Remote take care of payroll, benefits, and compliance: allowing you to legally employ and pay people in countries where you don't have your own entity.

If you’re looking to join the growing trend of co-living or just co-working in general, there are ample opportunities available at companies helping to provide the services necessary for employees to work remotely. See our list below of the hottest companies helping digital nomads and remote workers get the job done, no matter where they choose to work.

Security in the Skies: 5 High Altitude Balloon and Satellite Startups Hiring Now

Nearly nine decades after the Hindenburg disaster, some speculate we’re entering the Second Age of the Balloon. “As all these objects fall, a new space race is rising,” Vox (https://www.vox.com/world/2023/2/7/23588464/suspect-spy-china-balloon-sputnik-moment-space-race) proclaimed. Tens of thousands of balloons float into near-space every year, and the numbers rise every year. The National Weather Service alone launches around 60k high-flying balloons each year. The Pentagon spent nearly $4B over the past two years on its own high altitude balloons, according to Politico (https://www.politico.com/news/2022/07/05/u-s-militarys-newest-weapon-against-china-and-russia-hot-air-00043860). Why the interest in such old-school tech? “They’re cheap, easy to transport, can be fielded in large numbers and are payload agnostic,” industry expert George Howell wrote. Tucson, Arizona-based World View (https://spacenews.com/world-view-emphasizes-remote-sensing-as-it-prepares-to-go-public/), a stratospheric ballooning company, last month announced plans to go public via SPAC merger. The company develops a “stratollite” that provides high-res imagery for extended periods. (The company also offer space tourism.) Colorado-based Urban Sky (/company/urban-sky) is creating what it claims as the first ever reusable stratospheric balloon. Called “micro-balloons,” they’re the size of a VW bus and can hover in near space to collect data over urban areas. Company founder Jared Leidich (https://www.smithsonianmag.com/air-space-magazine/04_fm2017-alan-eustaces-jump-1-180961678/) has some chops in this arena, having designed the space suit used in the world record space dive in 2014 via a balloon at nearly 136k feet. Near Space Labs (/company/nearspacelabs) invites people to “step inside a new way of thinking about all things geospatial imaging (https://nearspacelabs.com/blog/).” The company's high-altitude balloons that carry a small, autonomous robot called Swifty to capture the world around them at 60k to 85k feet in the air. The company says it’s done zero carbon emissions and recently launched (https://www.zdnet.com/article/near-space-labs-provide-free-high-resolution-imagery-to-universities-nonprofits/) a program to make its high-resolution Earth imagery available to universities and nonprofits for free. Sounds fascinating, right? Luckily, with a new wave of space technology, comes a brand new, cutting-edge wave of jobs. Check out 5 top startups aiming skywards and hiring now.
