A lot of people are in the "if I could just hire right I'd be fine" camp when they should be in the "why is the way I'm trying to build this stupid" camp. Address the root problem, go in with the assumption that it will be easier to start over from scratch and rebuild with 3x the productivity based on what you've learned about what _doesn't_ work, and it will be easy to find people who want to work on your app/platform/etc. I've advised far too many mid to late stage startups where what they really need is to just take what they've learned, rm -rf, and quickly build something that works now that they've gone through the growing pains, and far too many have taken this option later than they should have.
