I'm trying to think of a company that proves the opposite, but I can't.

For example Tesla and Space X seem like likely candidates, but Musk, and any founder with a billion dollar + exit, is an absolute cheat code in fund raising and can't be used as a standard for any normal company. And yes, most of the companies you mentioned are completely normal with founders who are categorically not Elon Musk, or in the case of Theranos, not Steve Jobs.
