As someone wanting to start a company but has ZERO safety net, I think about this often. I grew up poor and don’t have a circle of wealthy Friends & Family. If I fail, no one can bail me out or help support my kids. Taking risk is a privilege.https://twitter.com/orangebook_/status/1236296122739691523 …

This is true. But also.. one has nothing to lose anyway. In a way it allows for less risk aversion. I'm comfortable with uncertainty, things can't really get worse that it has already been anyway.

As a working mom with no spouse for financial support, I could lose my apartment, childcare and ability to provide for my children. Unfortunately it is not so simple for me.

I’ve done it...lost the apartment, moved in with my family to help with my son, eventually raised money. Would do it all again and we’re still just getting started. It’s not easy, has unique challenges, and may not work out but it’s better than the alternative.
