I really don't have good advice for you but consider this. What if you had 10 React devs you could attain, but just 1 Svelte. But the Svelte one was far superior of a dev and also jelled with your sensibilities better. I think having a single kindred spirited studmuffin would serve you better then 10 mediocre devs (I'm totally not saying this is what would happen or that React devs are mediocre!). But the reason I think of this is that while there are obviously much less folks in Svelte at the moment, there are a lot of devs keen on Svelte and/or looking for opportunities to sling it. Maybe it'd even be a differentiator for you I dunno.
But yeah, all speculative from me here haha.
Good luck Adam!
P.S. I code in React, Svelte, Vue 3, and Angular (my least favorite by far). My side project is AgnosticUI which claims to be a component library that supports all of these. But with all that I agree with Jared that if you find someone who actually knows JavaScript (but I'd add HTML and CSS) you're destined for success whether they know you're framework or not!
How’s it going, I'm a Adam, a Full-Stack Engineer, actively searching for work. I'm all about JavaScript. And Frontend but don't let that fool you - I've also got some serious Backend skills.

As a consultant, I see all sorts of stacks on an hourly basis during the day, React, Vue, Angular never Svelte or Stencil which is so sad they are both compilers with amazing powers and I really enjoy working with them. I ended up using Svelte and I hope it pays of in case my product did actually sell and I became a millionaire 😀
If you can make some money building from software you should definitely go for it! ⭐ 😄 🍰 Good luck and if you become a millionaire you can probably corporate sponsor you're favorite OSS and still be making a huge community contribution 💪
