Age and Success

Liz Moody challenges the notion that success is reserved for the young by highlighting the advantages of experience and maturity. She shares that the average age of founders in fast-growing tech companies is 45, emphasizing the value of accumulated skills and networks. This perspective is supported by research showing that older entrepreneurs are more likely to succeed than their younger counterparts.

Among the fastest growing new tech companies, the average founder was 45 at the time they started the company. And this makes sense. Experience brings insights that are impossible to get otherwise.
