I saw David Rubenstien, the founder of the Carlyle group speak about founding that company. He said he read the average age of successful entrepreneurs is 29 to 37ish. At 37ish he thought to himself I better get it done now.
He founded the Carlyle group, one of the most prestigious private equity firms out there. He made it sound like it was his previous experience which helped him succeed.
At 29 I feel very young and have learned that I still have a ridiculous amount to learn. It doesn't hurt having a little self control, getting some experience then going for it.
For ever Facebook there are tons of companies that never went anywhere.
- sriramk 15y agoI just turned 28 and I was about to post the same thing as the parent comment. It does make you question your life choices a little bit, though I do feel much better prepared now than I would have been at 25. And I don't think I could have run a company at 20.
