It is right there, and the author is confused. Not everyone cares about "credit", and if you're 100 person start up exits for 4-5x what you've raised to date, its a good day for all the employees.
The "hollywood" people as I call them, the people who want their name in the credits, are not the people you want to aspire to be. Its the people who everyone who has worked with knows they are the 'real deal.' When I did interviews at Google one of my goals was to separate out the people whose mission in life was "to work at Google" from the people whose mission was to do "<some thing>." The former are the 'star struck' ones, the latter are there to do something useful.
When you are in a successful start up, it becomes a bigger company, the people who were there with you and helped build it all know who did good and who didn't. There is no reason at all to be mentioned in Tech Crunch, it adds no value to get 'credit.'
