I remember a slew of articles mid 2015 that raised the criticism that founders came from privileged backgrounds. The article also mentioned &quot;the cult of the entrepreneur&quot; and the idolization of these characters.<p>I am born and raised in SV and yet I frankly do not understand the fetishization of entrepreneurs and the idea that this line of work is somehow holier than any other. Isn&#x27;t that the root of the problem, rather than the privilege of the founders? After all, Wall Street is littered with nepotism and privileged family backgrounds, yet that isn&#x27;t seen as much of an issue but rather just business as usual.<p>(perhaps the industry attempts to gain good will for its own gain through this portrayal, and this is the price they pay for this deceit though)
