If a 20 year old succeeds. They got lucky. There are no special skills needed.
Even if they are serial entrepreneurs. Once you have the right social network, it doesn't really matter what you do, you will succeed. Anyone who was a friend of Mark Zuckerberg during its growth phase could have been a serial entrepreneur and millionaire many times over even without trying. Heck, the artist who painted their wall made hundreds of millions.
- onion2k 7y agoI think it's fair to say no deep domain knowledge is needed if you succeed by the time you're 20. That takes time. But skills can be learned fast, and sometimes a skill such as selling can be little more than a talent. That can be enough to succeed, and someone who is genuinely good at selling can be well worth investing in. Age is simply not a good metric for choosing who to invest in. It doesn't correlate (or inversely correlate) with any likelihood of success.
