absolutely correct, and let's not forget there is the whole spectrum of startups and mid sized growth companies that one can join in between.

This was hard to read. The author puts MBAs on quite a high pedestal of honor and considers them "smart people".

It's actually the anti-socialists that are leaving California for Texas. Doesn't that make sense?

Is it really a very cheap rate? It seems like it is the market rate to me for newbie founders. If it were "very cheap", every VC and their mom would be rushing to buy in on these types of startups -- and believe me, there are many VCs and a lot of VC money in SV.

Sorry! As long as the world's leading consumer and enterprise technology continues to be created there, it won't be going away any time soon.

The CEO is, literally, one of these MBA types and he has recursively applied this thinking throughout the whole organization.
