I have known both EMs at Salesforce and VPs at Twitter, and believe me they return the favor. The idea that SV startups aren't staffed by ruthless business people is one of the sillier thoughts still percolating around. YC/HN and similar orgs are the child soldiers/shields of VCs. There isn't anything edgy or innovative about it, and hasn't been since the 90s.
