This just feels like an advertisement for Brewster.

I agree- this just reads like an ad. Wish there was a way to flag this as "reads like an ad", like they have on Wikipedia

As much as I like Fred Wilson, he occasionally does these native ad blog posts about companies in USV's portfolio and I have to admit it leaves a bad taste in my mouth. I don't doubt his sincerity; when it comes down to it, I think he's trying to help startups and entrepreneurs, and the best way he can do that is reference his portfolio companies...but ultimately "an experience that a company I'm intimately familiar with" winds up feeling like "I have a large audience of highly networked people reading my blog and I should leverage this to promote my investments."

There is no question that this is an ad. It is also devoid on any informational or actionable content. This is pure click bait.

On top of that, there's extremely little mileage to be had in the idea of "keep grinding, even though the market keeps saying 'no thanks'".
