"Business founder" is very different than "startup founder" though, at least as it is understood on this forum.

  maybe maybe not If you check the links I provided, you'll see "startups" are included in those metrics And successful (by whatever other metric you want to count) startups (and businesses in general) are relatively rare ...pretty sure I've heard that only about ~1:10 new businesses make it past 3 years. And "startups" have an even lower overall success rate. You also have to account for serial founders - who may have a list of "not successful" and/or "failed" businesses before finally having a "successful" one ... which also, by dint of physics, means they'll - on average - be older by the time they are "successful" :)
