It's the nature of the beast, you're a startup ... you can't pay people what they would make on the open market ... People who wind up working for you, either believe in you and/or your idea.

So embrace that constraint.

I'm kind of surprised that you're looking for a UX guy full time, Is that really necessary in your estimation? Don't you think you'd do better with a freelancer billing out hourly?
