You’re correct. pg refers to startups as cramming a lifetime’s worth of work in ~8 years. Pretty hard to do that if a startup is your 3rd priority in life.
There are plenty of exceptions, of course. But as a general rule startup founders are young because young people have no responsibilities and the energy to keep going day after day, week after week, month after month, for years on end until they exit. An extra advantage young people have is they don’t know how hard it will be. Older, more experienced people don’t have this tailwind of ignorance.
