The scary thing is, if you're an entrepreneur, your days of starting companies from scratch are probably over by age 45.
Bullshit, as evidenced by reason and by actual example (google for it).
- chrisyeh 14y agoVivek Wadhwa has done a great job of writing about how older entrepreneurs are an important part of the economy: http://wadhwa.com/2011/12/02/washington-post-the-case-for-old-entrepreneurs/ http://wadhwa.com/2011/12/02/washington-post-the-case-for-ol... The ageism really is a strong part of Silicon Valley culture. Just look at the quote with which Wadhwa begins his article: “People under 35 are the people who make change happen,” said venture capitalist Vinod Khosla, “People over 45 basically die in terms of new ideas.”
