The straw man here is the family money you've assumed. I've done 6 startups as founder or early employee. I assure you I had no "family money" to fall back on. It's only my most recent company that had an exit that really put a cushion under me, and that's after more than 20yrs of startups.
- memish 4y agoPeople who assume there's family money to fall back on are generally themselves in a privileged position. They are projecting that onto everyone else and it's an excuse to not build anything and discouraging anyone to do anything.
