Ask HN: How to get hired without using recruiters?

I'm tired of talking to headhunters and the whole jumping-through-the-hoops that comes with the job hunting process.

The thing is, I'm a decent developer but more of a generalist type with lots of entrepreneurial drive (though haven't had any success yet), so my CV is not very streamlined.

I'm more looking to find a business partner (with money as I need a job) than an employer.

Anyone in a similar situation?
