Yes, of course.  But I think you greatly overestimate the willingness of 
techies who don't see themselves as "businesspeople" and don't have an 
entrepreneurial bent to go deal with this stuff when they could just get 
a conventional job in their locale.

It is possible that my candidate may grow professionally to the point 
where that would appeal, but at the present time, no.

Also, while the salary I'm offering is decent as prevailing salaries for 
his level of experience and such go, it's not *that* great.  I wish it were.
