I’ve found that between a quarter and half of the students I consider 'hard-core' entrepreneurs/founders (working passionately to found a company,) self-identified as coming from a less than benign upbringing.

Whether there's a correlation depends entirely on the proportion you find in the general population.

I'm not sure why he feels this is a correlation. But if you consider that access to capital is one of the best ways to reduce risk when starting a business, it may be surprising to see such a large number of those with no access to capital trying to do so.
