Bad fit for this community. He’s right. The entrepeneur world is full of the wrong sorts of people to be starting businesses, unless your only criteria for “success” is getting bought-out early for a ridiculous amount, letting all the employees go, and telling existing customers to go fuck themselves.
Those with a legitimate problem to solve tend to have the will and motivation to see that it, or more likely whatever small portion they’ve figured out, stays solved, at least for a good while.
OP is mythologizing childhood, “broken” is really vague and could mean different things to different people but to my mind it means “abused” and obviously people who were abused as children are not any better at running companies than those who weren’t.
Well-adjusted people can also be entrepreneurial and solve problems!
Oh no, think of all the be-smirched well-adjusted people! Otoh, succeeding in the entrepeneurial world generally takes a pretty high-degree of being “well-adjusted”, regardless of mental-health issues stemming from abuse or otherwise.
There are also plenty of other things that can put a chip on one’s shoulder or break a person besides childhood trauma.

I think my problem with this is:
