    What I'm tweeting about tonight is basically I am totally alienated by start-up culture in SV which seems to be about hustling for $. :)

        @avantgame even tho the hustlers & networkers will continue to wield a lot of influence. Life is too short for things you don't value.

        @avantgame some people are in the business of making things, others are in the business of business. They only adopt the other when needed.

        @avantgame Have you talked to many startups outside of the major VC clusters? Is there *anyone* looking for actual product advisors?

        @avantgame There are a lot of folks on the business building side, me included, who agree w/you. Winning isn't getting $50M in new debt.

        @avantgame When it comes to hustling for $$$, the phrase "necessary but not sufficient" comes to mind.

        @avantgame This might encapsulate your current feelings: http://www.thedailybeast.com/newsweek/2012/03/11/the-robber-barons-of-silicon-valley.html … - it's not fair, but you might resonate with the sentiment

        @avantgame There is a false nobility in any enterprise that claims to do good, while quietly gaming the good primarily for their profit.
