You've got the wrong impression; I left the startup that closed the $100m C because I didn't agree with some of their practices (or lack thereof).
I'm just sharing my perspective having seen success and failure in the startup space over the last 4 years first hand from teams that have succeeded and teams that have failed.
It doesn't seem to me, by the contrary. They're describing the harsh reality whether one likes it or not. As it's stated about reality in the Cambridge dictionary: "the state of things as they are, rather than as they are imagined to be". But it seems a good idea to rethink how we use the word "success", even if it's "success" at the eyes of many.
I like the story "The Honest Farmer", retold by Ella Lyman Cabot, I found in "The Moral Compass", pg. 262, edited by William J. Bennett, which introduces the story with this: "The dictionary defines integrity as 'an uncompromising adherence to a moral code' and says the word traces its origins to a Latin term meaning 'untouched'. Here is integrity, untouched and unshaken by altered circumstances."
That crosses into personal attack, which is not allowed here.
