Contrast:

"There was one surprise founders mentioned that I'd forgotten about: that outside the startup world, startup founders get no respect.

Unfortunately this extends even to dating:

  It surprised me that being a startup founder
  does not get you more admiration from women.
I did know about that, but I'd forgotten."

It might serve as a filter to keep away all that gold-diggers.

Or it might just be the truth that there are no "gold-diggers" targeting startup founders. Certainly I've never seen it.
