Often the founders have trust funds and connected families, so never have to worry a day in their lives about missing rent or going hungry.



As a current founder in a startup, these comments are hilarious.

Yea, I'm definitely a trust funder, my parents know the Kennedys, and I have at least 10 shell companies set up. /s

In reality I'm broke because I've been taking an extremely low salary for almost a year now, my parents are about as connected as a pair of sea turtles, and my rent/next meal is a daily concern.

Lot's of undeserved hate for 'founders' here it seems.
