- patio11 17y agoGetting featured in Techcrunch is not necessary for business success, and getting featured in Techcrunch does not constitute business success. I wouldn't waste too much time worrying about their opinion if you're not in the narrow segment of the economy where it matters.
- MicahWedemeyer 17y agoIf either of my projects were featured on TC it would do absolutely nothing for me in terms of revenue. It might actually hurt me if potential paying subscribers were turned away due to high loads bogging down my servers. I was just being sarcastic about the obsession with attaching age to startup founders, and how younger is equated with better.

I'm waiting for the "50 over 50" report, but I'd place the chances at about zero, outside of AARP publications. The aura of expectation and possibility outshines the concrete and the right now. People like to read about the young partly for what they happen to be doing, but also because they like to imagine all the great things they'll do in the future. Seems life is all about looking forward to stuff.
