It’s mysterious only if you subscribe to some myth of capitalist supremacy, that is that nothing starts without capital. Everyone is powerless because they lack the levers of capital.

When in fact many starts are without capital, outside of it, in cheap spaces and without any permission. There is a bootstrapping that happens to develop the idea or product.
