"...those of us in startup mode don't need the time sink of keeping up with the news..."
And that is why startups are rarely successful.
And that is why startups are rarely successful.
Really?
Or did you just think it was a snappy retort?
If you really do think that the primary reason most startups fail is because they're not keeping up with the news, I'd really, really like to understand your point of view - I have a lot to learn.
Thanks.

The "that" seems to be referring to not keeping up with the news. That, in turn, then says to me that not keeping up with the news is the primary source of failure.Maybe I'm wrong. I'd love to hear what he actually meant. I certainly can't parse it as you suggest.
