Fyi, none of this applied to my cofounder or I. Both of us grew up lower middle class (family incomes under $60k/year) and went to public grade schools, high schools, and colleges.

We met the people who are our angels by excelling in our careers. Eg founders of companies damn sure remember their top 3 sales reps.

My family income was under 1/3 that and I left school to pay the bills
