Hunt for Jokers

Joker is considered as a wild card in the arena of gambling and is often used to complete a sequence of cards filling the 'required' gap. Role played by a joker, in the game of cards, resembles a lot with the role played by perfect startup employees. Most startups don't have huge pockets and hence can't afford the perfect employee for all the roles. Instead what they hunt for and prefer is a parallel figure of 'Joker' in the real world. Joker can prove to be a real bargain for limited startup funds and, in a long run, can prove to be a real asset to the company. How else do you expect a startup to compete agianst giants sitting out there in the market?

Real problem that exists with jokers, is their scarcity added with their career expectations and hence, finding a joker with a long term perspective, is the most difficult problem for a startup. Once you get hold of some jokers then other cards start making sense and hence over all chances of winning increase by multiple folds.
