It's not a problem. I was 30 when we started Viaweb. Empirically the worst danger of being older may be that it's harder to recruit your friends as cofounders.

- untog 15y agoGood to hear. Certainly, I have no doubt that I'll be more successful at 28 than I would have been at 22, but a little more prior experience wouldn't have hurt. But I suppose hindsight is always 20/20, and endless second guessing never got anyone anywhere.
- gauravk92 15y agoYou were the creator of viaweb? What was it like working at yahoo instead of running your own company. Did you retire early(?) or your job is flexible enough that you're still working? I haven't finished your book yet, only half way through, great discussion on the culture though.
