The only reasoning I can come up with that could possibly support this is maybe they have the idea in mind that those with more than 12 years experience would be less able to adapt to newer ways of thinking?

That counts as ageist for me.

  It likely does for the law as well.

  And I don't disagree - It's just the only thing I can possibly come up with to make sense of it.

500friends founder/CEO here. It's not that people with 12+ years of experience are not as good. We were trying to screen out candidates (many of them who are smart) but have been "managers" for so long that they can't get their hands dirty and solve issues themselves (something you have to do at a very small team). Don't take my word for it, 26% of people on our team are older than 38. If you're bored, check out some of their bios at 500friends.com/team Admittedly however, this was not clear in our post, and it has since been edited. Thanks!!
