Well, that's weird. I was emailing someone a couple months ago about the New York startup scene, and specifically mentioned that NYC has more "hustlers" per capita than SF. You probably don't need hustlers, at least at first. They're leverage, and they seem to care more about immediate cash flow. (The ones I know of who got involved in startups either got involved late, were working with half a dozen startups at once, or worked with service-y or consulting companies that would pay a salary right away.)
