I can understand the argument of money means you're more likely to start a company. But the article is titled at addressing risk. Perhaps I'm just being pedantic with semantics, but if you have the money then doesn't that actually reduce the risk? "when you know you have a safety net, you are more willing to take risks." If you have a safety net, it's arguably not a risk then. Perhaps a better way to look at it would be, if you have money, what is a risk to someone else is less of a risk to you. I still feel like risk aversion as a whole can hold us back from things we would enjoy in life. What is this? "a 31-year-old woman who runs in social entrepreneurship circles in New York, and asked not to be named, told Quartz" This could be any random person with an opinion on startups. We have no idea what influenced this view point or where she is coming from. Blindly listening to it sounds dangerous.
