I just turned 47 last week, and I'm just about established with my first startup. It took several years.
Does this mean I should quit and go get a corporate job?
Startups are a numbers game. Just know that and work the system. Don't fret with how old you are, where you live, or any other thing that you have no control over. You were dealt cards, now play them.
I would say the article offends me, but it's nowhere close. If anything, from the echo-chamber that SV can be, it probably makes a lot of sense.
But not everybody wants to work a startup-VC life in SV. If that's your thing, then fine: be aware it's an ageist culture and you have an expiration date.
Maybe I'm missing it, but as fast as funding requirements are dropping for startups, this (and SV in general) just doesn't seem that big of a deal anymore.
