I think I was 16 when I got fed up. :) But working on my first real start up now in mid-20's. It's just so hard to do with no capital straight out of school. That's why we don't see more under 25. It's simple really. "Anything worth doing, is worth doing poorly at first." I hear you. I think I was 16 when I got fed up. :) But working on my first real start up now in mid-20′s.

The 20-year-old college kid who started facebook might be a more compelling story, from a journalist's perspective, than a 45-year-old who started a fabulous small business.
