I don't think this analogy holds up very well. Getting a trophy is something that happens at the <i>end</i> and getting a seed round is something you do at (roughly) the <i>beginning</i>.<p>Getting a seed round of VC is more analogous to being allowed to be on the team in the first place. The trophy is more like an IPO or acquisition.<p>"Not Everyone Gets To Be CEO Of A Billion Dollar Company" strikes me as a more appropriate headline for this bit. I don't see any reason not to allow (or even encourage) everyone to try though. Sure, some (most?) will fail, but as the old saying goes "you miss 100% of the shots you don't take."
