Maybe that's why most startup founders are at 45 years on average, by that age kids are maturing, family finance should be relatively stable, you might be reaching on your career ceiling, and you're getting older but yet not too old -- so you want to give it a shot. All combined the 45-average-founder-age makes sense to me.
- StaticRedux 9y agoNot to mention the most important part in my opinion, having the experience in your field to create a successful startup. Having a light bulb idea when you're young is all well and good, but without the experience I would imagine your odds of failing are much higher.
- raarts 9y agoAbout being 'not too old': 45 is an average, meaning there will be more or less just as many around 60 as there will be 30. At ~55 the kids will be gone, giving you even more time to start up something.
