#72I'm 44 and I just started on my fourth.
How did the first three go if you don't mind me asking ?

#73The average age of a startup founder in the U.S. is 35.
FYI. I'm meeting up with the Python folks at the Denny's in Addison off of Belt Line tonight @ 7. I'd still like to get together and talk for a spell. I think the last time we exchanged e-mails was back in April. I'll shoot ya another e-mail.
Sorry - couldn't make it tonight. Too short a notice for a guy with a family (it takes a couple days to coax the wife into letting me go)

#74I"m a YC start-up founder @ 39. I thought I was going to be the oldest, but there was another in the same cycle that had me beat by four months. It's not a matter of age, it's just a matter of managing commitments.
Cool. I always thought YC aims for kids in early 20s - with the $5k/mo model etc.. Are your co-founders also in their 30s?

#75You're only too old if you believe people that tell you you're too old.

#76No way. As long as you have passion for what you are doing that is all that you need.

#78I'm currently exploring a "What If" idea. I'm designing my first web site. I can only do it during nights and weekends. I'm happy. I'm 35. I will never quit.
"I will never quit." Amen to that!

#80I turn 38 in two days, and I also fear 38 may be too old. So I'm starting a company today. Or maybe I'll do it tomorrow. But definitely before I'm all spent at age 38.
How many shares of said company will several birthday beverages of your choice buy me, payable in full this Saturday night?
