A suggestion for the disclaimer:

*this advice only applies to upper middle class white males based in Silicon Valley(or at least the US), who own trendy startups that have raised some VC funding

I know a lot of Blacks, Asians, and Women born into a lot more privilege than I, who exhibit the same behavior as those white male founders who sometimes get described as egotistical/ self absorbed/ "douchey".

I mean, are you trying to claim there are no upper middle class tech scensters who are Black, Asian, or Female? Or do they get a pass for acting exactly like the white male counterpart because they aren't white males?

You don't have to be a white male to be an upper middle class startup founder.

Yeah but then you typically have to drop out from Stanford.

don't get it all too literally. it's about certain stereotypes.
