This anecdote might seem incredible to much of the HN community, who look upon successful founders as some sort of demigods.
But could it be conceivable that they're really nothing special?
Perhaps HR was right after all.

Or maybe they would be a good fit within the corporate culture but are a poor fit for a particular job and HR is not flexible enough - or not allowed - to say "not a good fit for this position, but may be a good fit for that position. Let's toss it over to that hiring manager."
