Why would you bother getting worked up about this (unless I am mistaking your tone). Sure, he is fortunate to be the son of Ron Conway and to have been in the position to work for/with his father but 1) Topher also CHOSE to be an angel investor. Not everybody wants to work for the family biz. 2) You could be an angel investor too. Maybe you need to have a rocket success of a start-up first, but if you have the aspiration, grit and a bit of luck, you can do it too. If you're complaining that Topher had it handed to him and you have to work for it. Be thankful that you CAN work for it. In an earlier age, upward mobility was much more challenging. Today, where the CEO of Microsoft grew up the child of a Civil Servant in India, I think if you're complaining that it's to hard, you aren't recognizing the opportunity in front of you. Quit your whining and get back to work.
