As a 45-year-old with an interest in startups that borders on the unhealthy :-) I am more than happy to see this kind of validation in print.

As a 45-year-old with an interest in startups that borders on the unhealthy :-) I am more than happy to see this kind of validation in print.
- ehmunro 18y agoI'll have to agree as a 43 year old with an unhealthy interest in start-ups. Maybe I should tell VC companies that I'm a late-blooming genius? ;-7
- michaelneale 18y agoI am 34. Feel free to call me a young punk or a script kiddie, would make me feel better ;)
- ojbyrne 18y agoOk, obligatory chime-in. 44 years old when I (built|co-founded|whatever the PR people want to call it today) digg.com. Younger partners decided I was too old (or something) ... Working hard to prove them wrong (though within a larger corporation). Meanwhile they flail around, getting more pathetic by the day... Maybe it's my love for parenthetical phrases. ;-)
- wheels 18y agoI do sympathize with what happened, but the Digg digs are a little tired at this point. Just on your most recent page of comments I count three.
- ojbyrne 18y agoI agree actually. I was a little hesitant to put this one in, but it was on topic (late bloomers), and once I get started its hard to stop.
- coglethorpe 18y ago41 and about to embark on startup #2. The talk about late bloomers as "searchers" struck a chord with me, because that's what I started doing about 3 years back... searching for that money-maker. If I'm like the writer in the story, I've only got 17 years left and I'll find it. :-)
