Do you have a source for this? I've been searching for a bit, but can't find anything that indicates depression is very weakly related to suicide.

I believe the correlation is there, but it can be very misleading. The presupposition in the article is that a prospective start-up founder knows he has a mental health problem. In that case, his suicide risk is already lower.
