So I posted this not because I support the post, but because I first took it as satire, but learning from the author and editor that it's meant seriously, I find this horrendously cynical and offensive as someone who is a repeat startup founder. Maybe I am missing something but I cannot buy the idea that startupland benefits from MBAs following this advice from the post:
"Calling or emailing the CEO of a startup — even though he is a complete stranger — and insisting that he meet with you so that you can tell him why his company is fucked without you being part of his life, then demanding a compensation package rife with equity from his ESOP along with a market salary may appear far-fetched…"
Parasitic if you ask me. (and unlike some folks on here I'm a huge fan of PD and find them to be far more startup/entrepreneur friendly than most of the tech media)
