Here are some other tips from our experience in no particular order: - At least in Germany, you can get amazing interns for free from the university b/c their programs often require them to do one. - Don't justify to your potential employees why you are entitled to "the best". Just ask for the brightest people around and they will come, because they know that if you were not smart, you would not want to employ extremely smart people. - Be multicultural and try to have at least one girl in your team ;) - Don't blindly hire your friends. If things don't work out it will get messy.

>Be multicultural and try to have at least one girl in your team ;) I wish. I only know one girl taking a computer science course at my university, and she isn't fit to be in a start-up (she has just started, so this will properly change) there are a few more but sadly it is very difficult to find technically minded girls. That leaves the possibility of hiring them for some non-technical purposes, but to me it would feel as if I was just trying to perpetuate the "women aren't smart enough to work in technical fields problem".
