None of these people have real-seeming connections either (check out the sfist story on the cast and look at their previous "startups").

Moments later edit

And who are these people with the "EIR" backup plans that you're thinking of? The "EIR's" I've met have all been former successful founders who are simply being effectively pre-funded. That's not some class privilege; it's an additional perk of having won in the past, and it's not one of the bigger perks.

True. I'm guessing they value their time less than we do. They don't strike me as "real" anything. Just overprivileged wankers playing around.

Wondering how much these people value their time is like wondering how much the Jersey Shore cast values the soil quality in New Jersey. It's a reality TV show.
