Good find, Erik. Thanks.
We see a similar pattern with entrepreneurship in general. Once we look
past a few stories grabbing most of the headlines, a more thorough
analysis of age distribution among entrepreneurs shows it's rarely about
20-somethings:
...the collective summary of their learnings was the average
entrepreneur is 40 years old when they launch their startup,
and people over 55 are twice as likely as people under 35 to
launch a high-growth startup. The average age of a successful
startup with over $1MM in revenues was 39. It was determined
age was less of a driver to entrepreneurial success than
previous startup and industry experience.

Not to worry the young-uns here - the article closes with:
No, age in itself does not matter in trying to forecast
entrepreneurial success. But, experience does, and often
times, that comes with age. And, smart entrepreneurs
that lack experience, can offset that by surrounding
themselves with experienced mentors.
