Interesting article - but I don't think the writer gets it.

"We should focus on minimizing the downside of losing so that startup roulette feels less risky. After all, startups shouldn't just be for rich kids who can afford to take a chance on a big idea."

If more risk averse people began starting companies - would the ratio of success to failure change? My guess is that it would. Who knows in which direction.

There's always some BS stat in these articles about the percentage of entrepreneurs that succeed. Without a definition for what a successful entrepreneur is. How is that defined?
