The author is a partner at a VC firm[0]. One purpose of content like this is to inspire future founders-to-be to make the jump to start their own companies (and consider working with the author's firm). To do this, one necessarily must glorify the end state of such a journey. Also, founder-centric VC firms tend to attract people with an optimistic view of founders.
