The easier but more expensive way is to hire a senior engineer. That might be hard to do at a small startup. The other way is to expand your network.

There is some luck involved but you can increase your chances by putting yourself in the places where a technical mentor would be. Attend meetups, hacker groups, conferences, talks.

Reach out to technical bloggers or other people in the sphere. If they can't help you directly, maybe they can redirect you to someone else.
