That's fair. My suspicion is that portion of the blog post is a claim/hypothesis on the average persons within that economic segment ('poor people') who start a startup. Certainly that hypothesis could be wrong, and the post is meant to spark a conversation and describe the experiences of the author.

On another note, I suspect a portion of the motivation for the post was also in part sparked by the "Privilege and Inequality in Silicon Valley" in which does exist (see other folks comments); however, the post is more about the n of 1 experience, the challenges faced within building a startup, and the hypothesis that it may resonate with others facing that startup experience. I think what you're seeing in the comments is the resonating of the title in addition to the content of the piece. I personally believe these are two distinct issues: 1- building a successful startup coming from that background, 2- working in the SV/tech companies with ivy leaguers who tend to grow up in higher economic households / have experienced different lives therein making it harder to relate/fit in for those with diff backgrounds. It's certainly a deeper discussion. Wealthy people can have tremendous insecurities around sharing their wealthy therein can feel isolated. (ex: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8o46HH-TfNY )
