I'd be surprised if people here actually believed that to be a successful entrepreneur your starting conditions do not matter.

Your race, your country, your culture, your health, your finances, your dependents, your family all have a massive impact on whether you can stop doing whatever you're doing and focus fully on turning an idea into a high growth business. Maybe it's just me, but I personally believe that it is a huge privilege to have the ability to pursue entrepreneurship.

I could be a coal miner in war-torn sub-Saharan Africa trying to make ends meet to pay for my sick child's care, instead I'm sitting in a comfortable air conditioned office in the Bay, able to complain that the snack selection is not sufficiently locally sourced.

I'm sure they'd agree that conditions matter. But people here regularly disagree that gender and race discrimination in the US is a factor in tech. And they have for years, often vehemently and in great volume.

What narrative do you think this guy isn't fitting, then?
