The startup was a choice people made. The business plan was a choice. Executing the plan (or failing to execute it) was a choice. Accepting a job at a startup is a choice. Choosing to do an IPO is a choice.
The fact that they came across the start up in the first place had no element of luck?
The fact that they were born with the genetics to be smart enough to contribute to it was fully within their control?
The fact that they weren't killed in a car accident when they were 12 was due to their agency?
Success is mostly attributable to luck, and ignoring that is just an exercise in outsized ego & shows a sense of agency that borders on the absurd.
