Ah, the good old "this hasn't happened to me so it doesn't happen" argument.



Do note that I mentioned 6 companies in which I have personal knowledge, while this article only mentions 42 floors (ie I presented 500% more actual examples than the author). Even if you where to believe all 7 companies the author has worked at -- counting the mugs on the about page -- are such bad startups, we still have nearly equal datasets. And that's not counting other startups I know about because friends are founders.

So yes, this hasn't happened to me, and I presented much more or, at bare minimum, the same actual data points.
