I believe the poster means that while the world of start-ups is full of charlatans, it's also where you have to go find the most interesting people and ideas, since anyone inside the 100 meter radius (inside the established software industry) who has an interesting idea is shunned or banished to the world of start-ups.

(Not espousing this view myself, just trying to clarify the analogy.)

He means that all the undesirable effects of big corps are non-existent in a startup.
