I would love your input on research my wife is doing on "Raising Founders" 1. Where did you grow up? Suburbs or City? 2. Where did you go to school? Public, private or home school? 3. Favorite entrepreneur / change-maker?

FWIW My observation from being at a school with a lot of wealthy students is they are less likely to do anything risky as they look to do something that preserves / achieves what their parents have. Despite all the opportunity I am yet to see a grad from my school (& keep in mind NZ is tiny) doing anything interesting.

Most are accountants/lawyers etc, nice safe options. Many boys working for their fathers. When I took a look at our brightest founders or achievers here none were private school. (Although was at least five years ago when being a ‘founder’ was less cool/common).
