I think my problem with this is:

OP is mythologizing childhood, "broken" is really vague and could mean different things to different people but to my mind it means "abused" and obviously people who were abused as children are not any better at running companies than those who weren't.

Well-adjusted people can also be entrepreneurial and solve problems!

Oh no, think of all the be-smirched well-adjusted people! Otoh, succeeding in the entrepeneurial world generally takes a pretty high-degree of being "well-adjusted", regardless of mental-health issues stemming from abuse or otherwise.

There are also plenty of other things that can put a chip on one's shoulder or break a person besides childhood trauma.
