Hackers are the programmers of the team. As the tech experts, they take entrepreneurial ideas and write them into instructions for computers to understand and execute. They make sure that codes are clean and optimized, leading to a smooth and highly functional program.

Hipsters are designers – the masters of user experience research and empathetic design thinking. By understanding their customers; needs, they build beautiful, functional, and intuitive interfaces that are the bread and butter of excellent online customer experience.

Hustlers are the managers and marketers of the team. They turn ideas into reality by developing the necessary connections, collecting the necessary resources, and making sure those resources are being used efficiently and strategically. They are also the start-up's direct link to its customers – managing communications, distribution, and feedback.

Unicorns are a combination of of all the three tracks put into one. The reason why they are called unicorns is because gems like these are hard to come by. Although they are very rare, they are a large asset and have an edge in the startup and tech industry.
