I totally disagree. "Accomplishments" are what you rely on when hiring someone for a big company. When hiring entrepreneurs, their resumes are often misleading / worthless.
Agreed - Intellectual Property is usually overvalued by larger companies. However, it still makes sense for startups to protect their IP, without basing their success on the novelty of their IP.
Learn on the job and network for free (or very little money). Such 'orchestrated' startup events tend to be populated with consultants, accountants and lawyers who want your business.
Agreed - but I think part of the point of the article was that the 'non entrepreneurs' that were being hired 'didn't get it'.
I a perfect world, there would be no need for Core Values to be written down. However, as the article points out, at some point in a venture's life, it grows big enough that you can no longer assume everyone is 100% aligned.
Creepy to an entrepreneur, no doubt. However, potentially very necessary for non-entrepreneurs to act in the proper manner.
