Most of these people know nothing about Silicon Valley. When you've grown up here, worked for the major tech giants, then you can say "this is how things are done in Silicon Valley".

One episode was enough for me; this show is aweful and can't imagine it going beyond one season.

This actually has little to nothing to do with the blog but here goes.

I am so sorry for you Hermione not because of your lack of investments at this point in the show but the conflict Ms. Austin seems to have with not only you but everyone she spends any amount of time with.  Don't give up on either your business or personal relationships they all take work.  And for every yes I got in life I must have gotten a dozen no's.  Oh and I downloaded your app the other day so I assume you got funding but just be yourself in life (as corny as that sounds).   You have to be relatable and show your frailties along with your strengths.  You will make more money, have a better personal life and generally be a happier person if you keep being the genuine person that you are.  Fake people show up a mile away, you can see them coming.  Oh and tell your brother to find a nice. smart, pretty girl.  

Poor Hermoine, I have been in Silicon Valley all my life, and I can't help but keep shaking my head when she says how things are done in Silicon Valley. That debacle in Dave McClure's office was evidence enough that Girl is steering her Brother in the wrong direction and he needs to start trusting his own instincts.
