Finding the right people to hire when starting out a business is a serious endeavor. In the the early stages of the business you need to treat your hires like a marriage, but this becomes even more prevalant as the business begins to grow because that's when things get complicated. Because the relationship needs to be so incredibly in-sync, my suggestion is to look at the people closest to you and leverage them to find suitable matches for your employee base. No one knows you and your ambitions better than those you're closest with, so I would highly suggest seeking employees through the already established relationships you may have.

I have massive respect for Kevin Rose, but I feel like the "if you build it, they will come" mindset has been the undoing of many technical folks trying to build new stuff. At best, it's careless and at worst, it's probably not even a tenable approach, especially if what you're building is beyond the scope of what you as a single dev can get done.
