Personally, I would love to be recruited by Stanford to study CS. I have a Master's of Science in Financial Engineering, but I have always felt that I probably should have picked up a more solid CS background on my way to that degree. Also, it would be nice to meet some people face-to-face that have an interest in launching a start-up in the risk management arena. There is simply no interest for anything like that in the Cleveland area.
EDIT: I work in an interest rate risk management group for a major US bank. I can attest that there is definitely more room for good software in this space.

Chalk it up to self-selection bias, then optionally recruit them. Not a problem.

Or rather, a good problem to have.
