I don't think this analogy holds up very well. Getting a trophy is something that happens at the end and getting a seed round is something you do at (roughly) the beginning.
Getting a seed round of VC is more analogous to being allowed to be on the team in the first place. The trophy is more like an IPO or acquisition.
"Not Everyone Gets To Be CEO Of A Billion Dollar Company" strikes me as a more appropriate headline for this bit. I don't see any reason not to allow (or even encourage) everyone to try though. Sure, some (most?) will fail, but as the old saying goes "you miss 100% of the shots you don't take."
