As someone who started a company articles like this make no sense to me.
There's money-driven people everywhere, but if you want to get rich, your best bet isn't to start a company. Work at a hedge fund and work your way up. People makes millions a year. Way easier than starting something. That being said it's also soul sucking and absolutely mindless. Provides little value.
Perhaps there's more to starting company than ecosystem?
Starting company allows you to address a problem directly. Whether that addresses a real problem, or is a cash grab, depends on founders.
Most "good founders" do it because they want to make it real. That articles propagates some kind of wannabe culture as being the real value of starting a company. Which is so lame.
Life is short and starting your own company is way better than being an employee at a big company in my opinion. If you are young you are undervalued.
Obviously it's more nuanced then this comment and not everyone is in a position to start a company or work at a small company, and hell no is it a meritocracy, lots of problems, but damn, do your own thing.
