I disagree, the avg age of someone starting a company is 42[1] :) I honestly think its truly just about filtering BS. I get hungry about the right things. Just like I get passionate about the right relationships. But not goin to drop everything for someone that shows the tiniest bit of interest me like maybe when I was young and had no idea what kind of relationship I wanted. 1 - https://www.entrepreneur.com/business-news/this-is-the-average-age-of-successful-startup-founders/446147#:~:text=Using%20confidential%20administrative%20data%20sets,their%20company's%20founding%20is%2042 https://www.entrepreneur.com/business-news/this-is-the-avera....

By hunger I mean the raw chutzpah and energy to do something bold, or commit to going in a brand new direction. Not necessarily the capability to do so. Older people typically have more money and connections. If anyone could start a company I guarantee you more young people would start companies. And not to mention experience. You may want to start a company when you're younger, but it's harder when you don't know what you're doing.

  > By hunger I mean the raw chutzpah and energy to do something bold, or commit to going in a brand new direction I haven't actually noticed a decline in that with age. But what I have noticed is that the more experienced a person is, the sooner they're likely to spot when a new direction is probably a dead end and avoid going that way in the first place. Less experienced people tend to have to actually walk in that direction for a while before realizing it's going nowhere.
