We live in a youth obsessed culture. Silicon Valley entrepreneurs have replaced rock, film and even sports stars as our modern-day pop culture celebrities. And since youth is the currency of celebrity we inevitably assume that entrepreneurship is the provenance of the young.
I launched my company at 28 and proceeded to run it over the next 13 years (I am now 41). By most accounts, even at 28 I was on the older side of what most people would expect for an "Internet Entrepreneur." My experience however played a big role in the company's success and I have no doubt that had I jumped into starting a company five or six years earlier, I would have likely failed.
