Bigger part of the problem underlying this is that there are too many inexperienced Advisors who want to help, and too many inexperienced Investors who don't want to miss out on startups; both horrifically misleading founders with bad advice.

Vinod Khosla said it well a few weeks ago (I'm paraphrasing), "stop taking startup advice from investors! What the hell do a bunch of MBAs with wealth know about building startup!?"

We must do better for entrepreneurs; not by being supportive but by weeding out the junk so they don't have to try and discern good from bad when they, the founders, have more important focus.
