Kurt mentions it early in the article, but I have to also recommend "Building data science teams" by Patil:

I'm hoping to write a couple of follow-up posts talking about some of the trade-offs that you're going to have to make when you're a startup that doesn't have the resources of a Facebook or a LinkedIn. It's difficult to do everything in that (admittedly great) article if your resources are limited.

I'm a data scientist. What sort of resources could I provide to the startup communities? Is it just consulting needs or could I provide an "data science" API?

This.

The article is one of the best ever written on the topic.
