I agree with all, except the comments about “willing to work for low salaries”. This type of filter tends to attract individuals who may lack the entrepreneurial spirit essential for a startup. It’s a losing strategy.
i didn't meant "low wages" in absolute terms - eg. "exploitation" of people.
i meant "relative low(er) salaries" compared to the "high(er) salaries" big companies are able to pay - let alone big tech...
and i think this is at its core the "hard problem" to solve as an early-stage startup:
to get relative good people who see reason to take such a job - when they would be "capable" to work for one of those big companies and rake in the large(r) salaries payed there ...
so there has to be a reason for them to accept this payment deficit ... this is what i called "passion for the cause" in my first post :)
ok, maybe i need to clarify this :))
