Someone working in a fulfillment center making ~40-50K each year won't be able to put together 100K capital to risk, even with family and friends.

A large portion of HN readers are entrepreneurs, a lot of stories here tell the tale of failure, the burden and how to bear it. Yes it's not easy.

And then there are people for the "not easy" is virtually impossible. Because they can't even start a business with any chance to succeed.

I'm not saying, that because of this Bezos should give more to the employees, but it'd be good if these inherent inequalities were better managed by society.

I am not talking about the people making ~40-50K each year. I am talking about the software engineers in Amazon.

Creating a better managed society is a complete different conversation.


I bootstrapped my business with far less than 40k. It is definitely possible.
