I find this article completely laughable because the advice seems to be look to hire someone who has all the abilities and drive to start their own company and will do something mind blowing for your company. Well guess what? These candidates already are starting their own company and aren't going to be attracted by your .25% or even 5% equity. This is like the high school version of rejecting people to go to the prom with and then when the prom comes, low and behold you have nobody to go with - in other words, if you follow this rubric you're probably not going to end up hiring anyone. How about this for advice instead... Find someone who can fill and execute on a specific need for your business in a cost effective way.
