Yes, there are people who won't get the same benefit from hedging like this.

But they're a small minority. Not that many people meet your description here.



Would be interesting to see average founder who can fundraise large amounts and family income. I’d imagine they tend to come from higher income backgrounds, though could be wrong.


I'm sure the wealthy are overrepresented, whether or not they got financial help from their families while starting/building the business. But there's a long gap between "being rich makes it more likely to succeed" and "most people who succeed are rich."


my goal isn't that someone who is in that position reads this. as you said, they're a small minority. they already know this. but people who aren't in that position might want to know how the world is shaped for other people
