Hi, I'm Mary — founder of RemoteKind
I'd never hand you someone I wouldn't hire myself.
I've been the overwhelmed founder and the operator on the other end of the handoff. RemoteKind is built from both — I source and vet every match myself.
The short version
Why I started RemoteKind
I didn't plan to build a company. I planned to do the work — and I loved doing it. Four years as an operator taught me the craft from the inside out. But the longer I did it, the more I kept hearing the same conversation around me: founder after founder telling me they'd cycled through VA after VA, remote worker after remote worker, and still hadn't found the one who actually fit. Different people, the exact same frustration, on repeat.
Then I became the client. I was the one trying to hire — flooded with capable, eager applicants who all wanted the role, and I still found it genuinely hard to choose the right one. That was the moment it landed for me: the problem was never a shortage of people who want the job. It's that almost no one does the careful, unglamorous work of matching the right person to the right founder.
So I made a decision — to stop being one more link in that churn and build the thing that actually fixes it. That's RemoteKind. I source, I vet, and I match you with operators I'd trust with my own business, so you can stop starting over.
“‘Available’ and ‘excellent’ are not the same word.”
The bar I hold
No one is matched to you until they clear every one of these.
2–3 years, minimum
Real executive-support experience — never someone's first remote role.
A four-stage test
Communication, judgment, tools, and follow-through — assessed before any match.
Trust, personally
I sign off on every match. If I wouldn't hire them, you won't meet them.
