Most start ups want you to have a lot of experience so they don't have to train you. That level of experience isn't found in most people in their 20s. The older age bracket I'd wager are finance and venture capital types. Startups are mostly toys for rich people
- k__ 9y agoSure, but this doesn't explain why most people working in startups are in their twenties.
- nwenzel 9y agoIs that true? Or is that just what people want to see? Avg age at my company (Series A funded, 50-ish people) is >30. Founders started at 35 & 36. Now they’re not-quite-40 and 40. Your sample size may vary.
