Right, that's because they went way out of their way to drag a bunch of startup people in as advisors, and they worked all their stuff into the plot (it helps that there's something innately comedic about startup culture). Watch the credits sometime and look for names you recognize; you'll see them.
The startup advisor I know said they told the writers of an incident that happened to them, but the writers rejected it as being too outlandish and audiences wouldn't believe them.
