It's been said before, but I firmly subscribe to "You don't 'get'/ find/ hire great developers, you earn them." Make sure you leave enough room for exciting projects, give your developers exposure (at least those who want it) and let them present at meetups, conferences, ... Be an active member of your community (throw parties, support hackathons, ...) to raise the reputation of your startup and the want-to-work-there-factor along with it - but only get involved with aspects that relate to your business/ industry and keep it honest. +1 for involving developers in the decision making. Also, free lunch, offsites, etc. probably also do their part.
