The bolded is almost every business owner ever. Whether you're talking about an entrepreneur who received a government grant or small business loan or a startup founder who received funding from angel investors and venture capitalists, pretty much everyone who has ever started a business did so using other people's money. And the relatively few people that can afford to start a business without outside help are almost always already wealthy or come from old money.
