"They’re doing something on their own, are already kicking ass and are not available."
It's not that they can't use an extra $10k per month. They most certainly are available.
They're not available at 'speculative, "startup" wages' with unknown prospects even if you get them on board with a token amount of equity and even if you get funding.
They can do it all, and are doing it successfully. They don't need you.
So what? I don't need Google, I don't need Microsoft, I don't need IBM. These companies would hire me by putting some money on the table.
The key to the 'desingineer' is that, you know, they don't really need you. One of your skills (the person looking for a desingineer) is putting the pieces together, finding the people and getting them on board, none of whom can singly do everything. So, they need you.
THe desingineer doesn't need you. If you want them on board, you're going to have to actually open your pocketbook. Imagine that.
