There were so many businesses built in California by jewish immigrants with only the clothes on their back, a few shekels in their pocket and lots of gumption... (They actually had wealth and connections from generation grifts)
Pretty much the only one that had SOME "botstraps" was Steve Jobs, and even he lived in a well-off area of California, both his biological grandparents and adoptive grandparents were of higher means, and he was employed by Hewlett-Packard by 13.
I see similarities here.
