I definitely understand this given all the acquihiring going on in tech right now -- it makes it hard to rely on something for your business.

That being said, for a few reasons I don't think we're likely to go away through an talent acquisition:

1) The majority of our headcount won't be engineers and product, it will be operations. This is necessarily the case because we are such a local service. This means that anyone who wants to buy a team to work on product is paying a massive premium for all these other people they probably don't want (at least, traditional tech firms won't want them).

2) I think Justin.tv / TwitchTV will already make me very wealthy. I didn't start Exec to make money. I started Exec because I want to build something that will take over the world. I want to be Facebook of labor -- not as in "a company that opens up your social graph around work" but as in "a company that fundamentally changes and expands the category it is in, and becomes ascendent in that category".

That said, it is easy to talk. Watch what we do and draw your own conclusions.
