The real reason my startup was successful: Privilege

Most founders I know that are under 30 did it that way.<p>Parents were dentist, doctors, lawyers, teachers, etc.<p>The parents weren&#x27;t &quot;rich&quot; but had enough spare money to feed and house their kids, while the kids did their own company.<p>They didn&#x27;t need to be profitable or grow or something. They just did what they liked for a starvation wage in the first years and got a huge amount of business contacts in the process.

I see how this game is being played now.<p>Does it work the other way too?<p>The real reason my startup was a failure: Privilege<p>Oh no? That must be because you are a loser. Come on now. Is anyone else getting tired of this &quot;privilege&quot; talk?
