I never believe in hiring B players and then trying to upgrade with more talented people later when the company has more cash, more customers or is performing better.  The problem is that A players are only attracted to work at places where they see other A players.  They smell B from a mile away.  And also B players often don’t hire other B people.  In my experience B players hire C people.  A begets A, B begets C.  Don’t go there.
