- PeterisP 13y agoI can't remember the source now, but IIRC the actual measurement was the age when they founded their first company. But quite a few of them by that time had hands-on business experience managing businesses owned by others.
- randomdata 13y agoThanks for the update. Though it would still be intriguing to see how past business failures affect future successes. Is it better to try and fail in your 20s, or not try at all until you are 40+, for instance? I wonder if that kind of data is available anywhere?
- johnjlocke 13y agoYou have to fail a bit in order to succeed. There are very few people who hit a walk-off grand slam in their first major league at bat.
