I sold my company a couple years ago. Just took some time off to have a second baby and did some reflecting on the whirlwind of the past 7 years. This article is the result.
The realization that I would not have been successful without the privilege I was born into and married into was not a total shock to me - I've always been grateful for the opportunities I'm given - but something about the process of writing this really had an impact on me. Enough that I'd like to devote the rest of my career to efforts that level the playing field for potential entrepreneurs a little more. Still working out the details of what that could look like. Open to suggestions.
Just refreshed this HN link and would've expected comments.
Thank you for writing it... for those who weren't born immigrants and had to start at zero, it's a good reminder to embrace certain landscape dynamics.
