Reading the short bios is interesting. I see 3 classes of bios
1) Typical-ish startup: not usually related to what they did in college, based on some idea about education, the internet, and… education and the internet. 2) Vague marketing speak, or a highly implausible idea prefaced by “he/she believes”: come of like the type Paul Graham describes (as successful) - not great ideas, but willing to keep trying ideas until they find a good one. Or at least I hope they keep trying. 3) Product-based startup: They have a plan for a product, usually related to what they did in college, that will do cool things. Seems like the best of the bunch, but hey, I guess we need better internet education too.

Is this too simplistic?
