To used an incredibly cliched example - Zuck and Facebook. A poor example. Zuckerberg was very lucky that he stumbled onto something that his modest PHP and design skills didn't kill, and eight years and 5,000 employees later Facebook still doesn't make enough money (it's trading at 10 times the normal P/E). Every couple days someone wins the lottery, but it's foolish to make a profession out of playing. Undergrads have the technical skills required, there is absolutely no denying that. Respectfully, they don't. They can build things, but they aren't at the level that the public currently expects from our industry. Joining a startup with seasoned engineers gives you more realistic and productive feedback than the average user is able to provide. We just want to raise awareness around the fact that working for/starting a startup is a valid option for an undergrad. This is excellent, and why people are paying attention.
