I think the reason many entrepreneurs are young is not so much that young people have inherently better ideas as that young people are in a better position to take some risk. That is why a good fraction of companies that are started by older people seem to be started by older people that already have money in the bank: they, too, are in a position to take some risk.

She is, therefore, always, woman-like, a lover of young men, because they are less cautious, more violent, and with more audacity command her." (The Prince)
