And before you take out the numbers and statistics and prove me wrong, I am not talking from a statistical point of view. It is more of a gut feeling (possibly a hope). All I know is that: - In all of the startup weekends that I have gone in Mexico, there is usually an important participation of women, where they usually feel comfortable and stand out. - Some of the most distinctive characters in the community are women, like Celeste North, Rocio Paniagua and Ophelia Pastrana in Mexico. Bedy Yang in Brazil and Vanessa K in Argentina.
And this participation doesn't happen in a segregated manner like in other countries (women-only initiatives, women-only events, etc).
What I am unsure of, is if I should sell my services directly to founders or if my direct customers should be headhunters who are already working with startups.
I am considering providing hacker recruiting services specifically for startups (bootstrapped or in seed stage), but I am not sure if I should establish my channel strategy directly to startup founders, or through recruiting agencies/headhunters. So, my question is ... how do early stage startups recruit hackers? Do they only rely on people they know? Do they hire headhunters or recruiting...
