To be fair, nepotism in tech tends to be of the academic type, and most kids who get into Ivy League have worked pretty hard to get there.

So, in some ways, it's not that bad a kind of nepotism.

Most startups are not hiring actual family members :)

It's harder to convince your own family to work for you for free with constant overtime and vague promises of great profits in the future. :).
