..."professional hoop-jumper" ...He means being a kid?

There's a self-importance and arrogance to all of this that really comes through from this type of rhetor. I think the imposter syndrome might not be that much of a syndrome in the case of far too many startup teams sadly.

When I read that line - "nearly two decades as a professional hoop-jumper" - I pictured in my head a guy in his early 40s. Professional means you get paid for your work. Hoop-jumper is a strange way to describe your education.
