All business is capitalistic. You require capital for any sort of business endeavour.
I would say raising capital is one of the weakest things for most entrepreneurs.
During the period of capital moving from one employment to another, the profits on that to which capital is flowing will be relatively high, but will continue so no longer than till the requisite capital is obtained.
I think for larger-scale entrepreneurship, it's true - for men and women - that people who already have capital tend to do better.
For resourceful tech founders, finding capital is rarely a problem; making the best use of it is another story. A few years slinging pepperoni pies and chicken wings - on tiny margins and with minimal investment - might not be the worst fiscal training.
Capital isn't this pile of money sitting somewhere; it's an accounting construct.
I really believe that if capital doesn't come to the entrepreneurs, the entrepreneurs have no choice but to go to the capital.
Accessing capital to start a business can be a daunting process, especially for entrepreneurs who start out with a great idea, but have no real familiarity with the business world.

For the good producer, raising capital is about the last thing to worry about. If you're good, the money comes very easily.
