Second this. Specifically he is pointing out that without the proper definition of a startup, this is merely lip-service that hits the right amount of buzz words for the media to regurgitate.
Why is he posting this? My guess, he genuinely cares to see entrepreneurship thrive in America and can't bare to see halfhearted attempts with hidden agendas.
My reaction was the opposite when I read his post. I thought it is pretty ballsy for someone like him to to go against the grain like this as he is likely speaking out against peers and colleagues. Status quo for Blank as he has written posts critical of VCs when deserved.
