You're right. It's hard to get started. But they're out there. Everywhere. They just don't know what to do and where to turn. Finding a way to get connected is one of the biggest early challenges.
You need to find a CEO willing to take a chance. I'd look at one who has built a smaller company from scratch, (say 250 ee's) and is now finding it difficult to expand into the leagues of the big boys. He/she is looking for an edge, and is likely to take a risk to obtain it.
