Bad analogy. Founding a startup is not entirely a gamble. There are some things you can do to increase your chances of success.
However, that doesn't mean you should do everything a successful startup founder mentions in their retrospectives. Founding a successful startup does not equate to having a flawless perspective into what caused your success. It's the job of VC firms to study startups and figure out what works and what doesn't, not founders.
