(After a year or two, the direction of your business becomes apparent anyways!) Early on, your candidate should understand your financial position and ideally, their motivation hopefully extends beyond money (not that money isn't important!). An experienced candidate that mature will also factor in career advancement and equity (stock options, stock grants). If you keep such a person at too low a level in the organization, at too low level of pay, you end up as a development organization for another start-up or a corporate rival who can better you on one or both aspects.
