Your claim that successful founders come from rich families does not accord with my experience. Do you have any evidence for it?

These papers are both about entrepreneurship generally, not what you call "high-growth entrepreneurship." I believe a lawyer's son would be more likely to start a law firm, but that implies nothing about the backgrounds of successful startup founders.
Since you're making big claims here, I would suggest you do more research specifically about this question. It would not be that difficult. For example, what proportion of the founders of the 50 highest valued startups went to private high schools?

I'm most curious about the question - how many founders had a real fall back plan if things all fell apart? Being 33 with a family now, requires a different set of assumptions for taking risk but I ultimately want to build something now that my student debt is gone.
Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

One way to test your own confidence about this point you "can't emphasize enough" is to ask how you'd feel about committing to an estimate, right now, in this thread, of what that number will turn out to be. I bet you'll find you're reluctant to.
