Early stage startups may find it hard to to hire developers. They lack the money for a decent salary, they sometimes need to build the very basic foundations of their code base, and the technical co-founder may end up doing tons of other stuff that are not development-specific tasks.

I will discuss more creative solutions like hiring interns (where to find them, how, what to expect) and using remote developers as contractors
