Having spent years working at a startup, you can confidently divide any and all claims made in the article by a factor of at least 2, if not 10. Remember that you're reading the most generous interpretation of what _could_ _potentially_ happen at some point in the future, and aren't reading about the failures and things that did not pan out. It's basically concentrated confirmation bias maximally generously extrapolated into the future. Think Elon Musk and "full self driving" for a calibrated reference. TL;DR: when a startup CEO or founder says something, don't believe a single word until you can actually verify the claims.
