>Do I have a competitive advantage as a startup founder growing up poor?

No, it's all offset from not having great connections with the right rich people, not having personal safety net and deposits to be able to work for long in some prototype, etc, things much more important.

It might work out for you, but in general there's not much for poor startup founders over rich ones.

I talking about growing up poor and then working in tech - similar to parent comment.

Technology is reducing the cost of entry for increasing number of industries. YC and other communities are providing network. Working for a few years you can save up a lot.
