> Tech entrepreneurs are disproportionately clustered at 20-34.
Do you have a source for this? The article you linked to quotes one 2014 HBR article and then walks it back, saying, "all studies in this area have found that the majority of successful start-ups have founders under age 50".
And there was also this more recent HBR article "The Average Age of a Successful Startup Founder Is 45":

- hathawsh 7y agoVery interesting article. It even says that founders between the ages of 50 and 60 are significantly more likely to succeed at creating "extreme startup success": https://hbr.org/resources/images/article_assets/2018/07/W180621_AZOULAY_OLDERENTREPRENEURS-1.png https://hbr.org/resources/images/article_assets/2018/07/W180... "... it appears that advancing age is a powerful feature, not a bug, for starting the most successful firms."
