Ask HN: How do I find a CMO/Marketing Expert/Consultant for my startup?
We're a 3 people startup currently in Beta and bootstrapped. We're looking to get someone on board for Marketing. How does one go about finding the right person/team? Most of the folks we know are developers.
1. Would giving just (sizable)equity work? We're not yet in a position to pay.
2. If we are to get a 4th person(CMO), how & where does one find marketing experts?
3. Do Consultants and Consulting Firms do marketing/branding for equity? If not, do you know anyone who is affordable.

Any tips/help welcome. Thanks a bunch.
