Not trying to maintain the "demigod" status of the founders, but. . .maybe they are something special - at least some of them - but not a good fit for the hiring company's culture. 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."
