I disagree with the hungry part (if you are referring to someone that needs the money). Being "hungry" just means that they will be stuck with a company but will not love what they do.
At this point, they don't need money or validation, they just figure they can help you solve things and are talking to you because they enjoy solving new things.
Hungry is overrated when what you need is focus on solving the business' problems. This is one reason VC like to see founders take "shelter money" off the table early.
