I'm not sure if it's cause or effect that young founders who get a lot of press before succeeding tend to fail, but wise to avoid.
Probably both, but if I had to guess, more effect. Scenesters like publicity, but fail at startups.

red flag also for talent to avoid these founders obsessed with limelight, instead of the problem, product and customers

I wish someone told me this about my previous founders-- would have saved me from getting eaten alive by YC :P

it's not the press that causes the failure nor is it the effect of the press. It is the focusing on the wrong things.
