Hey man, I'm in the same boat in the sense that I'm ready to make my first hire. It is hard - yes - but hopefully that's because you've set your standards high. I think it's about attitude. I'm determined to put an A-Team together for an idea that is backed by a solid pitch and has industry traction. If you're able to articulate your idea clearly and with passion - make people excited - then you will, eventually, find people very willing to jump on board or recommend friends.

I'm taking my time with it, as the right team is crucial to success. As a random aside, I'm even going tech partner 'speed dating' next week! (I'm actually ridiculously nervous...having been with my husband for 8 years, I don't have a clue how to go on a speed 'date' lol)
