Looking at some of the successful 40+ entrepreneurs, it strikes me that the 40 year old entrepreneur in a high growth industry has a very different profile than a 40 year old entrepreneur in a more "traditional" industry like food & beverages, retail, etc. The former is usually composed of highly educated execs with business experience and a technical background. They jump in after identifying a core problem in their industry and usually have the technical chops + connections to solve it.
