There are a lot more companies with a lot younger people. It is just like 23-year-olds are starting companies, and they are scaling really quickly.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The bad thing about young people starting a company is that sometimes they do it for the wrong reasons or because they have the wrong skill set, but the good thing is that they don't have any of the old paradigms baked into them, so they have a lot of the bright new ideas that are harder to come by as you get older.
You don't know this when you're young, but over time, you see that great companies are usually built at a special point in time.
Despite what some investors say, older age is an advantage in the startup world. You know more about industries and markets, and have ideas for products that the world actually needs and a better ability to motivate and manage than a kid out of school does.
Many companies don't exist after 25 years. It's a rarity. Or if they do exist, they're like IBM, with a totally changing personality.
Age considers; youth ventures.
I consistently run into young adults who have quickly turned away from traditional jobs at great companies to try their hand at a start-up. I believe that some of this stems from the desire to strike it big like Mark Zuckerberg, but I also believe it is because starting a company has become far cooler than working in one.
The business is built on slowing or even stopping the aging process.
Consequently, a young business often grows by large percentages. Mature businesses rarely do.
Today, 30-year-olds are becoming social entrepreneurs.
No 27-year-old has the experience to run a company that does a quarter of a billion dollars a year in sales.
