These conversations are always the wrong way round. Being excited about running a company is not enough - affording to do so matters. Restricting founderdom to the already wealthy or the maniacally driven seems a dumb idea.
My conjecture is that more successful companies are founded during downturns because more founders are forced into the process by circumstance.
If we want to increase the successful startups in the world, increase the number of people who can afford to do so. We are seeing paycheck protection programs across the globe - why not use some of the same cash as giant seed funds.
