Without getting into specific personalities or candidates, after 20+
years in various "start-up bubbles" (and I would argue that each
start-up represents its own "bubble"), running for political office and
launching a start-up have similarities: you attempt to persuade
investors to get on board with big talk about what you intend to achieve
while talking as little as possible about how you will achieve it, and
your investors gamble that you actually know you are talking about and
can really deliver.
The failure-to-deliver rates are probably pretty similar, too.
