Startup competitions are dumb. As a startup, you’re already in a competition called “The Market”. The only panel of judges that truly matter for your startup are called “Customers”. Don’t waste time on heuristic status games.

I have met so many people that opened doors for me and have seen so many people learn to be founders by going to competitions. This is a case of a founder saying controversial things on twitter to get attention and showing no awareness.
Agree with your first point. Disagree with your second. You can't explain all nuance in a single tweet. Sometimes to broadcast a message effectively you need to go with the directionally correct main message and that is that startup competitions are not what htey're made to be.

This is where we will differ but that is just how it goes. Founders that have traction start speaking like it is all so easy and you should just focus on XYZ. Being a successful founder really just makes you an expert on your success not success in startup in the general sense
