Customer facing insofar that we'll likely want to raise some money and I'd like this person involved in that process

Sounds like the role is more than just as a developer, but someone who desirably is a long term part of the business and its growth.

I think the parameters slightly change for this type of position. In your shoes I would pitch the vision & culture you're trying to nurture as much as the technical challenges and career advancement that would come out of it.

It definitely could be more than 'just' a developer role.

As I mentioned in another comment, I'd love to have someone that takes ownership (literally and figuratively) for the project.

That's good advice about pitching the vision and culture - I'll do that for sure.
