In terms of people thinking startup founders being over-confident to the point of being caricatures — There's a huge amount of survivorship bias. For any one successful startup, let alone momentarily "successful" ones like WeWork and Fast, there are probably thousands of startups that don't go anywhere (mine included). Maybe founders of startups that don't go anywhere fall within the self-doubter camp? They don't survive, so the world never hears about them. Only the successful, over-confident ones.
