Good point about the fact that she had gone as high as she could go at Google, but the disparaging of startup CEOs: "Running around Silicon Valley begging VCs

Good point about the fact that she had gone as high as she could go at Google, but the disparaging of startup CEOs:
"Running around Silicon Valley begging VCs for a handout; pitching weary journalists on another software product; building everything from the ground up and never knowing if people will actually use it. That’s not power, folks; that’s just working like a dog, and it’s a gamble at best, no matter who’s doing it."
I don't get her logic, the entire valley is built on people who did exactly that at one point. And now shes trying to convince us that well, obviously, she'd want to go take over a failed company instead of possibly trying to start her own, who'd wanna do that, that's just ridiculous?
A gazillion execs at companies like Facebook (Asana, Quora, I think), Paypal (SpaceX, Tesla, etc.) went and started their own company and have plenty of power.
Not to mention the obvious point that maybe "power" shouldn't be the only thing someone aspires to . . .
