Easily. If someone comes from a rich family it&#x27;s in a way harder for him to build a startup: he will not belong to the demographic of 90%+ potential users of any startup, and it will be hard for him to understand what they want and how to pitch it to them, same thing about employees - it will be hard to lead and motivate people not understanding what the people who need to work to pay their bills feel. This is my personal experience, while i am not rich in the &#x27;first world&#x27; sense, when i lived in a small provincial town in Russia 9 years ago i was rich in a relative sense - if you define rich as &#x27;1%&#x27;. My attempt to build a catering business failed miserably because of these items. Programming - where my clients are of same demographic as myself - works way better.
