Not really. It is a trait that you can see from the young age - when a kid is hustling (in a good way) like selling something, buying low selling higher etc etc. Like selling chocolates at school, whatever. This trait has nothing to do with money.

BUT. Money helps of course.

Lets say you take 100 entrepreneurs with family money and 100 entrepreneurs without family money. Lets say all of them are equally intelligent and equally "entrepreneurish".

Of course those from money will get higher results because money definitely helps to kickstart everything faster.

But entrepreneurship "gene" can be born in poor families as well.
Of course with wealthy families kid has more examples of making money, that helps motivation. Or even helps because he naturally starts thinking "I should do something as well". Examples encourage.
