Not to disagree with this exercise, but I think that the name ITT is overused and should not be applied here. Why not just ask "What are some good arguments against startups?"

That's a different question.

A good argument against startups might be set VC as an asset class don't outperfom the stock market. On the other hand it's unlikely that the average person working at a company would make that argument, so arguing it would fail the ideological turing test.
