Entertaining to read all the comments on this thread. Great article and as a former investment banker, yes so true, really no difference from, what I observe for SV startup accelerators, and an investment banking approach of hiring the best. I guess the same could be said of other elite professions such as law etc. With respect to other derogatorary comments on this thread, about bankers and MBA's. I suspect most are written by people attempting to self justify there choice of startup vs a traditional careers. Good laugh re: the comments about the social utility of startups vs banks and how unproductive to society investment bankers are. But face it without these investment banking "parasites" who add no value to society, most startups who need to raise capital wouldn't exist. Anyway back to work on my bootstrapped startup!..
