His language is really sloppy and amateur throughout. He also has this bad line, “Everything about a startup is sales”. No it’s not, unless you’re selling snake oil.
Sounds like you're not interested in making money.
I’m interested in adding value and helping make progress in the world, money is secondary, but I have plenty of money.

Oh, sorry. I meant ran a startup. You're right, it's not relevant.
So you’re saying the only thing that matters at a startup is sales?
Certainly not. I'm just saying that sales is probably a bigger factor than you think. I'm going to assume that you're an engineer. Tech alone doesn't make a business successful. More so than not it makes a business fail. I agree that the statement "Everything about a startup is sales" is exaggerated. Although, I will say that good sales outweighs good tech the majority of the time. It baffles me that people don't recognize that.

If one has to explain a joke then either they're bad at it, it's a bad joke or they have the wrong audience....I'll leave the conclusion as to which is it to the readers :) The article is about making money (even from the title)..the commented upon line is insinuating that if you think the article isn't for you (ie you just randomly stumbled upon it), then you obviously are not interested in making money...sarcasm :)

It's ok, no one forced you to read it I hope.

I’m an executive at a fortune 100 company. The article/post was sloppily written.
