ANYONE can become an entrepreneur (not everyone)
The next time someone claims that starting startups is for rich kids, remind them that Airbnb happened because its founders literally could not pay their rent.

sure but is starting startups way easier for rich kids due to the fact that they can fail and be ok?

But, I think poor kids are more likely to succeed. That grit and determination. They're like cockroaches, 4 years after launch and still grinding for traction.

ppl underestimate original thinking and conviction to follow through, prefer to credit superficial factors like breeding, pedigree, education etc

One thing I found interesting is Brian Chesky was in Uber's seed round in 2010. I tried doing the math to see how that was possible if he hadn't been rich (seems a stretch).https://www.businessinsider.com/uber-early-investors-jeff-bezos-troy-carter-gary-vaynerchuk-2018-12 …

It merely says he was an early investor, not that he invested in 2010.
