As soon as I read "whose family also summered in the same patch of northern pines" I knew where this story was going.
Basically read as: we started a failing company then used family connections to raise a fuckton of money to buy a successful company, and now we're successful.
I'm sure these founders grew up at least middle class, but you definitely don't need FU money to summer in the northern pines of Wisconsin. It's not exactly the Hamptons :)
