Right now your approach to hiring is the same as your approach to finding co-founders. Are you saying you're essentially looking for a 5th cofounder?

Basically yes. After 10th hire, nobody can hire with a blog post like this, for reasons you've stated, plus, there won't be room for co-founder minded, entrepreneurial folks anymore.
