Easy. You hire young, hungry grads who will bust ass for relatively little, and when they burn out you let them leave. Wash, rinse, repeat, profit.

If you are trying to build a product that will last, this is probably not a good approach. You'll need some people who are more senior to design your systems and to train the new grads.
