Well ... I think it is much simpler than that - startups are in a buyer's market. We have oversupply of startups concentrated in few relatively narrow classes of problems. So the most connected people win. Which is paradoxical because the uncharted areas today are bigger than ever - but there are not much ships sailing there. Maybe the "solve problems that you have" mantra is becoming too influential. So we have two tracks - one of people with common problems and the tech skills to solve them and the other - much bigger - people that have real problems but lack the skills to solve the problems. But we got success stories like Raspberry Pi - when people tried to solve a problem they didn't have but created something awesome in the process. And just today Google bought a flying wind turbine startup - and it does not look like aqui-hire.
