Instead of down-voting, people should explain.

"Why should I care about this person, and how is it relevant to startups, hacking, technology, etc.?"

I see it this way: He is a part of the start up community to which we belong to. If something affects one of us, we should try to help. We do not live in a vacuum where only code and startups are important and not the people who help make them.
