  1. On the side-topic of entrepreneurship and age, from a PBS article:

     

    Research that my team completed in 2009 determined that the average age of a successful entrepreneur in high-growth industries such as computers, health care, and aerospace is 40. Twice as many successful entrepreneurs are over 50 as under 25; and twice as many, over 60 as under 20. The vast majority — 75 percent — have more than six years of industry experience and half have more than 10 years when they create their startup.

    ...

    The lesson here is that ideas come from need; understanding of need comes from experience; and experience comes with age.

     

    It's a stereotype that only/mostly young guys start companies.
