That's a silly, misleading, and self-serving statement Leone made. The reason guys like him target 20-somethings is the same reason con artists target the elderly. They are vulnerable. In the case of 20-somethings, they're vulnerable because they are still green/naive. All they see is some friendly dude with a slick pitch who knows how to throw around a few buzzwords and sound smart to their virgin ears. They don't yet realize that 99% of VCs are reading from the same used-car salesmen's script, jumping on the same latest-and-greatest bandwagon, and generally trying to position them for an *ss f-ing. You can do that to a 20-something. Not so much to a 30 or 40 year old. I'm exaggerating and using loaded language for effect and spice, but that's the crux of the biscuit. Cheers!
