Given the prevalence 'youth worship' articles on here lately it is good to point his age out to people.
Get out there and make an impact regardless of your age or situation.
- josefresco 13y agoLike you I immediately thought of the recent ageism articles on HN and specifically PG's comment about the "cut off" age for consideration for tech-investors being 32.
- harel 13y agoWhat a silly thing to have a 'cut off' age for techies. Like a good Single Malt or Wine, we get better and better with time. Age delivers on certain pragmatism not found in the youth of today :)

- andrewfong 13y agoI think it's only 32 if you're relatively unknown or unproven. If you're Biz Stone, raising outside financing (in addition to your own cash) shouldn't be a huge barrier. Likewise, I doubt Uri will have a hard time with that 32-year cutoff now that he's had a $1.1 billion exit.
- kirubakaran 13y agoLink to the said comment please. I'm unable to find it.
