I often hear a lot about you should vs you shouldn't. How about just highlighting your experience with? Not all companies, people or circumstances are the same. To me, it's akin to comparing athletes and trying to debate who is the goat. Just talk about what you did and let people figure it out. If their startup failed because of it, then they got what they were after, to learn and grow for the next one. Or, maybe to not do one again. I can guarantee you that for every claim you make, there's someone who was successful in doing the opposite.
