<p>Indeed, on the vast majority of them. For example, just on the first page of the Berkeley forum, of the 4 ‘red-starred threads’ in which I have participated in, the only one in which I am the final poster is this particular thread. </p>

<p>And that’s just on the Berkeley forum, which is regarding a topic of which I care deeply. I participate in threads of plenty of other topics where I make my case and then leave the thread while still active. </p>

<p>But more importantly, as I always said, if you don’t like my posts, fine, don’t read them. If you don’t have time to respond to them, then fine, don’t. But I agree with ascaris - it is indeed deeply ironic to claim that you lack the time to respond to the arguments in my posts, but apparently have plenty of time to complain about the fact that I am posting.</p>

<p>I currently work at a seed-stage funded startup in Berkeley.</p>

<p>In regards to the topic at hand, I have to say that while the opportunities are rarer, if you are true entrepreneur, you will be able to take advantage of all that Berkeley has to offer and still manage to find yourself in a position to succeed. This may include going to networking events off-campus (perhaps even far away) or moving after you graduate. Either way, the lack of culture will not be a real hindrance.</p>

<p>From my personal observations, only a small handful of people from Cal end up founding or working at startups, but they do exist.</p>
