In the Episode, we discuss the connection between age and success and the misconception that it’s only the young 20 and 30 years old Entrepreneurs who are destined to build the most disruptive companies. In fact, a newly released definitive study, co-led by the MIT Sloan School Professor Pierre Azoulay, Northwestern Kellogg Business School Professor Benjamin Jones and US Census Bureau, Principal Economist Javier Miranda, makes it irrefutably clear- the most successful founders are middle age – ranging from 42 to 46 years old +. While there are certainly notable exceptions, and Zuckerberg starting Facebook at age 24 is certainly one, the numbers bear out the fact that founder-entrepreneurs between 20 and 25 fail at an alarming rate, and that there is a plateau between ages 25 and 35. Starting at age 35, the probability of success increases. Join us for this interesting discussion about age and entrepreurship!
