In gates' case it was a father with enough money he could attend one of the few schools that he could have access to a computer and a program to learn IT. While ALSO having an investment banker uncle who was willing to invest millions into his company early on.
Also didn't his mother help get him the contract to provide ms dos for IBM? And didn't he buy MS-DOS using dad's money?
Yes his mother was on the board of United Way where she was friend's with a board member at IBM.
