I'm sorry you've been burned, but you keep repeating yourself a lot in your comments, and your criticism isn't always on point. If you worked your ass off for 0.02% in a failed start-up, maybe part of the blame can be put on yourself? Live and learn.

Furthermore, while "connections" are important in business and financing (and always will - it's called human nature), I don't think it's ever been easier to raise money for the young unconnected entrepreneur.

I'd suggest you take a chill pill.

PS: The article you are commenting on isn't even on selling the dream to prospective employees, but on pitching well at Y combinator.
