Anti-establishment is sort of a requirement for doing a start-up.

Aggressiveness is a requirement for doing a start-up in times of constrained capitalism

Low quality is driven the by the availability of capital for dumb ideas.

So... a while now?

These startups backed by venture funds are anti-establishment? Are you joking?

[elzbardico]

This is a core tenet of Startupist religious dogma. People really believe it.

Part of being deep in the establishment is that you have to proclaim you're anti-establiahment.

It's like the perfect pop song - "I kissed a girl" by Katy Perry.

Do I think she's kissed a girl? No, no I don't.

People like to think that they are anti-establishment and disruptive at a startup. They conveniently ignore who is writing the cheques.
