Elixir devs are quite easy to find if you post a job ad on ElixirForum.

Another good thing about Elixir is that the odds of you actually needing 100 devs coding in it are close to zero. I've been in financial EU startups that moved tens of millions a month (they were not huge) with the grand total of 4 devs. The only problem was clearing up customer requirements (i.e. our product people dropped the ball and left us doing most of their work).

And expensive? Yeah but I wouldn't be against that if I was an informed business owner. Most Elixir devs are refugees from other tech stacks and are quite senior. Good talent should be compensated well.
