I experienced that at around 30, when someone invited me to found a startup, but I just didn't have the money to survive.

Now I'm 40, I've got more financial independence but dont really have the drive anymore.

You also don’t have the time to recover should the startup fail. Because of that I think rich parents holds much more influence than having built up a safety cushion (retirement fund) later in life. The risks are much much higher in that case.
