This sounds very familiar.<p>When I was in University I didn&#x27;t understand why some people didn&#x27;t care about grades and partied so much. 
When we left school and got into the real world I understood why: they had rich parents with contacts that could get them good jobs or seed capital for their own businesses.<p>I had lots of ideas and worked in a lot of startups for more than 10 years but now the following phrase from the article describes my situation very well:<p>&quot;Most of the time, potential founders who share my background tend to work at lucrative jobs in finance or tech until they can take care of everyone in their families before they even dream about taking more risks — if they ever get there.&quot;
