just hire. you will figure it out. a lot of people i know often wait for the 'perfect' candidate to show up at the door in a halo of divine light. aint gonna happen. most of the 'A-players' on my team currently were hired less on technical chops and more on un-measurables like 'sincerity', 'attitude'. these same people, now, with the benefit of decades of working together, would not hire themselves as they were when they joined.

in a nutshell: for a startup as early stage as yours, you need people. you will figure out what you need as you go along.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

No it doesn't. How do you write good specs for someone who is meant to own marketing for your business. You don't know marketing. You need someone who does.

Well if you can't, then I guess we shouldn't be complaining about feeding brains and average employees who just want to follow specs

I think you skipped the original post and went straight to the point you disagree (with no coherent point) without even understanding the discussion.
