I can agree with this. My startup has two thirds of the triumvirate, and we end up having to spend money on front-end design stuff. They're top-notch and all, but I think I'd rather pay someone who's on the team and around all day.
In one of my early companies, we contracted out the design and it was a nightmare. Design is one of those things that you really want the person to be producing every day. Our designer was actually in Ireland which was even worse. He was also working with other clients, so we weren't the main priority. Ugh. It's terribly even thinking back to those days.
