The absolute worst thing about going to events where a bunch of people pitch is just how awful most startup ideas are. Not awful in the too-crazy-to-work sense (like Uber or AirBnB), but awful in the entering-a-crowded-market-with-a-very-timid-idea sense. Things with no reasonable path to monetization. The opposite of pg's "frighteningly ambitious" is "unfrighteningly unambitious". There are too many startups out there that won't scare anyone - especially their founders.
