I was in the same boat a couple of years ago. It was when monicalent.com suggested that a small bootstrapped startup can "only afford A players" or will go down in flames. I totally agree now. Hire the best, or don't hire at all.
Whenever folks are frustrated about hiring for their startup, I'm looking at their team and they pick the $5/h outsourced freelancer on Upwork every single time. Folks, an investment in your team is an investment in yourself and your product. Hire THE BEST people you can.
