After reading the article (though it is, as mentioned in other comments here, heavy on the fluff), I think this might be a little less like an agency than I'd imagined. However, one problem I'm seeing is this. You claim about 30 developers right now, and flash Apple/Google credentials... but if you're actually going to be having extremely reputable and experienced Hollywood talent managers selling software developers, and you're expecting to get top-caliber applicants at all times, your niche is fairly small, both in terms of the developers you'll interact with and the promoters you'll be able to hire to keep your reputation above that of a normal headhunter. Quantity aside -- niche business can be good business -- the major issue I'm talking about is finding talent like this that's not only happy to work for someone else, but available. Even my own standards for hiring developers are too high for the majority of available candidates, and most of the devs I know that would measure up are either running their own consultancies (not freelancing) or working for places that make retention a point. If you're sitting low in the double digits despite the promoter resumes you're touting and your business has been around for a year... I have to wonder about its growth potential. Not to say every business needs to be absolutely huge, but depending on your goals, you might end up with a fairly low ceiling.
