Not more dubious than traditionally funded tech ventures we've all worked at till our 1 year cliff. Just more liquid! So therefore I'm not sure why an article that mentions 2 downsizing companies, and 2 discontinued companies, amongst 1,180, is treated as validation amongst the hackernews crowd. I think its really strange how separately this particular buzzword sector is treated here.
