> A lot of YC founders are random 20 something who may not even have a network, or very often they are terrible mentors.

Or are just toxic people entirely. Or worse, they started out as good and they got a little taste of power, and instead of becoming humble from it, they become a tyrant. Or their bad personal habits from college (drugs, alcoholism, weird sex crap) are forced onto the employees in uncomfortable ways. Or handle failure badly -- by taking it out on others.

Founders become founders because of their assertiveness and confidence in front of VC's. But then some make this weird trend towards anger and aggro towards others -- particularly if they're not succeeding and drowning in their own failures.
