Some other reasons to pick a 20 year old: - They are willing to work long hours and sacrifice the life they mostly don't have yet for a 1% chance of success. - They haven't figured out that the risk preference of someone diversified across 100 startups is incompatible with theirs, and they won't push back as much against moon-or-bust strategies. - They have the highest fluid to crystalized intelligence ratios of their life, giving them an advantage competing in novel areas where there is no preexisting knowledge, like enterprise sales. ;)
