Doesn't YC have a max age for founders? I imagine there is similar logic for their cutoff. Not saying it's valid, but last I checked (long ago) they had a max

Doesn't YC have a max age for founders? I imagine there is similar logic for their cutoff. Not saying it's valid, but last I checked (long ago) they had a max age. Disclosure: I am a bootstrapping old fart.

It does not, no. The average age is 29, and they've brought in some people in their 60s. https://www.ycombinator.com/faq/#q42 https://www.ycombinator.com/faq/#q42

  Paul Graham is no spring chicken, so it would somewhat hypocritical to be ageist when you're old.

    Maybe Graham believes he couldn't start a successful startup himself at his current age. Maybe that was his reason for moving into VC.
