> Most techies aren't also veterans or single mothers Hire them. They're cash strapped and need money. You're knowledge strapped and need insight. There's bound to be a way to make those two facts work together so it benefits both parties.

Good luck finding them - most of us go to inland state schools and fly under the prestige of the likes of Stanford and UC Berkeley. EDIT - For clarity, I'm a veteran graduate of a state school.

  Am I reading correctly that you think single mothers and veterans will refuse to work with techies that lack a Stanford pedigree?

    Other way around - I could have done a better job of phrasing that. Not many Stanford undergraduates are veterans or single mothers, and members of that startup talent pool are unlikely to go looking for them.

      Ah, that makes more sense.

What if you're also cash strapped? :)
