We tend to see the opposite. The high-quality young founders tend to be pursuing a single great idea. The high-quality older founders tend to decide to start (another) company first and then try to figure out an idea worth pursuing. The fact that the older founders tend to have more domain experience helps them with this strategy.

You're saying the youngsters are passionate about solving a specific problem, which is opposite of my speculation that the oldsters have the problem in mind. But you aren't saying that the oldsters just want a vehicle for their technical skills, you're saying they want a vehicle for their business skills. Interesting observation....
