My thoughts exactly, and the article even acknowledges this up front: only 0.91% of start-ups end up raising from angel investors and only 0.05% from venture capital firms. The only lie here is the lie our every member of our generation tells themselves ad nauseam: I am the exception, it doesn't matter that the stats say only .91% of startups ever raise anything, I am a member of the .91%, because I am the exception. (And if I prove not to be the exception it proves someone is prejudiced against me.)
