Q: You're a 20 or 30-something start-up founder, pulled a million different ways, trying to grow your company on a shoe string budget and decide you need to hire another team member; what do you do?

A: Spend all your energy to target potential hires from a demographic into which you have no insight or contacts, that typically wants more reward and less risk than you can possibly provide.

They can most certainly be open to having a diverse team but it's not up to every startup with a few employees to fix the system*
