If you have talented staff then you'd be surprised how far you can get just buy giving someone who already does that particular application as a hobby an unlimited supply of coffee.
Obviously finding talented staff is very hard, but once you have your tribe you can go a very long way i.e. I look at apps made by some people I work with (fast, lightweight etc.) then compare with crap pumped out by startups with literal billions in capital. I think it's a question of confidence more than competence.
