Glad to see a "proof" of the gut feeling I have had since before launching my startup. I chose to turn down VC money and accept deep-pocketed BAs instead. First, we all have "skin in the game" Second, and more importantly, a 50-thing BA with several successes and/or failures is much more valuable to me than a 20-30-thing analyst whose job is to check my excel files, do a broad market analysis and inform his boss. (I have nothing against 30-things, I am one myself. I value our generation new ideas, but I also admit that experience is useful :-) )
