and another year has passed and I see this list, realizing I'm getting closer and closer to 30 (ok i'm not that close yet).
Does anyone else feel that it's about time for themselves to stop reading the lists and start building something?
- timr 18y agoDon't sweat it. Not that long ago, you didn't have a prayer of starting a successful business before the age of 30. The 20-year-old founder is a very recent fad. The demographics may be shifting, but it isn't your fault.
- pchristensen 18y agoI wouldn't call the 20 yr old founder a fad but rather a new development. I think that the new economics of distribution mean that starting a company at 20 with no cash will be a permanent option. I do think that it will take a culture shift towards entrepreneurialism to make it more prevalent though. (full disclosure: I'm 28 with no startup)
- timr 18y agoMaybe. My guess is that the market for those companies that can be started with little or no money will become saturated (this has probably already started to happen), and the returns will fall. This will dampen some of the current frenzy for young founders.
