the problem is that "hiring" someone where they get paid is a HUUUUUUUGE pain in the ass because of all those state/federal forms you need to fill out for employees.
Which is why the really early stage startups don't really hire. Since they want to avoid that hassle.
Also when startups are squeezing every penny trying to get profitable/launch, they can't take a chance and start paying someone, even the few grand a month a "paid" intern would earn.
