Ageism in tech is rampant. If you replace age with race, it will become immediately obvious why this is discriminatory: > You're working around highly energetic, incredibly passionate, white people - almost everyone in our team has European roots. Doesn't sound so good, does it? That said, it's probably an oversight and they didn't mean it in a malicious way.

Thanks for the feedback. We have made edits to our post.

We'd like to apologize for any perceived age bias in the blog post. We merely wanted to provide information about the team that potential applicants would be working with. Our goal is to hire the best and brightest and obviously potential applicant's age is irrelevant and will not be considered in any way.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Maybe they should have noted the average attractiveness and current relationship status of the staff as well?

One can safely assume that any given tech startup is 95% unattractive males.

Not really. Take a look at their team page (http://www.alphonsolabs.com/team). You'll be surprised. :)
