You don't need money to start a startup. It is only startup culture which emphasizes it. When you've got nothing, you don't have anything to risk, so those people without resources but with drive are as good a place as any. My friends and I are working on something in the garage. It might not turn into anything, but when you only make 40k a year, it doesn't take much to be really successful. The thought of making an extra 20k a year is life changing for me and my friends. For a lot of people with great jobs or who are used to wealth, making less than 120k a year is a sacrifice. That's a huge disadvantage, and it becomes even more so when your entire company is filled with people like that.
