I can see this a few ways. I'm almost 50. I've had a couple of exits. I've retired and unretired. Being young can have 2 critical advantages: 1. Unlimited time, minimal financial needs. No kids. No spouse. No commitments. You can GRIND away at a problem. You can live on almost nothing. 2. Clean sheet perspective on technology, capabilities, costs, etc. My first T1 of bandwidth (1mbit roughly) to my colocated server cost me $3000 a month. It's hard for me to get my head around what's real now with the drag of so much accumulated experiential cruft. They are more likely to say, hey how about we do it this way, when I wouldn't bother because of outdated perspective on costs and capabilities. Now, I have a ton of experience on how the world really works, which is great. Especially people knowledge. But it's really hard to relate to how my kids see the world, having always been connected at high speeds, etc.
