I'm 32, and on my second startup. I have a wife and a baby girl. When my daughter was born, I found that I had more drive, as I want to create a good future for my family. This pushes me to do more and work harder. Age is not an issue, unless you make it one.
I would look to your heart to guide you, if a startup is something you want to do, just do it. If your worried about the future than you might be better off staying in the corporate world.
I figure it works like this, a startup is a huge learning curve. Your first one might not be successful, but if you are open to continue on learning, you'll eventually nail it right if you have fiery determination to push through walls.
Regarding choosing a team, I don't look at someone's age, I care about who they are, and what skills they have; and, what they can bring to my startup. Oh and of course, the right attitude and fit the culture that I'm trying to set in my team.
The question I would ask myself if I were you, is this - why do you want to start a startup? Ponder on this question for a bit, then imagine where you see yourself in the future. If this looks like a company job, than you have your answer. Likewise holds true for startups.
Cheer up, you're still young!
