Are you the founder of a successful startup? Are you an investor in multiple successful startups? Are you a board member of a successful startup ?Are you running an incubator or accelerator that that has spun out multiple successful startups?Are you an analyst who has called success correctly on multiple startups over multiple years?
Did you answer yes to one or more?  No? 
So here is the thing. 
Your opinion on startups may not carry much weight. Sorry.  
Early on in the current innovation cycle novices were making waves.  That’s not happening much anymore.  Professionals are turning this into a science now.  
So get serious or be the “flat earther of startups. “
