Would a sale in that region make Techcrunch a "dipshit company" in Arrington's parlance?

There’s a worry among venture capitalists, [Arrington] said, that angels are training “an entire generation of entrepreneurs who are building dipshit companies” that sell to Google for $25 million. In fact, that criticism might be extended to Y Combinator as well, which could be seen as “the king of the dipshit companies.”
Arrington said he isn’t on-board with all of that criticism, but that it holds a “kernel of truth.”

MA: No one is talking about the entrepreneurs.
CS: That’s not true. You call some smaller companies “dipshit” companies, but they’re not.

Another quote from VentureBeat: "TechCrunch Editor Michael Arrington, who moderated the panel, had previously criticized some angels for funding “dipshit companies” that think too small and aim to be acquired by Google for around $20 million"
