discrimination? hasn't tech always been dominated by young people on the bleeding edge?

#12There's a beautiful irony in a 20-year old so quickly dismissing any entrepreneurs above the age of 30 while also discussing fake IDs.
(This guy sounds amazing. I just wonder where he's going to end up in ten years.)

#13This is why America is making such huge strides in entrepreneurial ventures - because there are finally the old guys with all the money who aren't too proud to admit that there are people half their age with twice the talent. Going to a travel entrepreneur meet up yesterday in Paris really opened my eyes up to this cultural difference. (The French are too damn proud of their hierarchy!)

#14Earlier quoted context omitted.
I don't know. I still feel like a VC is taking a big risk on a hot-shot young hustler like this.
Venture capital is literally all about taking big risks...
Truth. So in that case why aren't other VC firms bringing on young hustlers like Alex here to build relationships and scout out young founders?

Isn't the story of VC over the last decade the mediocre return from the industry?

#19As a developer who has helped create some of the largest websites and projects and who is finally getting an opportunity to work on my own projects in his 30s. I would gladly push this kid off a cliff :)
