So when is one too considered too old to begin a startup company? Do most folks consider a 30-year old to be a bad fit for his first startup job?


Adobe was started by their founders when they were in their fiftees. KFC was founded by the founder when he had retired. It is never too late to pursue your dream.


The founders of LightSail were 20, 54 and 52. We've mad ea ton of progress and raised VC funding. We all work our butts off. We're going to fix the electrical grid, and we're going to make it green.

If there are hard limits I haven't seen them.
