Of your list of 91 founders (double-counting those with two companies listed), only 7 were 45 or older, and none were older than 56.
19 were in their 20s
55 were in their 30s
14 were in their 40s
3 were in their 50s
The median age of an American is currently about 37.8. 24 founders on your list were older than that, while 67 were younger. (Some on the list perhaps not Americans, but the median is just for illustration.)
So while it's hyperbolic to say it's all about "kids in their garages," it's also clear there's some truth to the "young founder" meme.
