Age of the eldest entrepreneur @YCcombinator = 66? I sure want to know more about this person, and their start_up! I'm a relatively older entrepreneur too, fall right on the right side of the median. Recently I had been been thinking of applying to YC. But couldn't convince myself for it, and my age was one of the reasons.

This grabbed my attention, also. Anyone know of this entrepreneur and his/her start-up?

Interesting to note that the average founder age is 30.27 (median is 29). Not that that's old, of course - just that I imagined it'd be younger.

Why would you not assume the opposite? I would assume the most experienced people with the most knowledge, contacts, and money to be in their 40s and 50s.

Is "Countries represented" only from W15 or overall? If it's only from W15, could it be possible to know the list of all countries represented since the beginning of YC?

This is only representative of W15 companies. We don't have a list of countries overall, since it's not something we've always tracked. But that would certainly be interesting to see.
