Yeah. I made the mistake of projecting my own life attitudes/experiences into the other person. In which case I made the assumption that the decision the other person would make is 'Based on all available data at your disposal, which is the best course of action'.

The other person does not have all the data that I have and probably has not projected future possibilities of the optimal outcome. In that case, they may equate a startup in the same neighborhood of probability as a lottery win.

Or, they may look at the startup world as a closed gig for insiders only, and not realise that all you need to do to get in the game is to start playing (and play your hardest, but i digress).

The ad makes it clear that there are people who will be willing to help you in if they think you've got what it takes, so that it's clearly not as closed as it might seem otherwise.
