congrats on the funding. i noticed that you mentioned you posted on university job boards. Personally at this stage for your startup, I would target a more experienced candidate compared to university grads. The college interns that helped with putting up your prototype is great but now that funding is there, you need an experienced engineer that can take your product to the next level technically and put in place a strategy and plan as far as technical details are concerned.
as mentioned above, the "jobs" threads on HN are amazing since you find very very good talent in them.
- swalkergibson 15y agoI would not be so cavalier about dismissing college grads out of hand like this. Just look at Drew Houston, he was pretty green and took on a very significant technology problem when he built Dropbox. I am not suggesting that all college-age technologists are of his caliber, but there is nothing wrong with trawling those waters. However, I would suggest being more proactive in that approach. You are more likely to find that type of individual at entrepreneurship/technology meetups that occur around the university, not necessarily in the job boards.
