It’s Not My Experience, But It Rings True
As you can probably tell by looking around, every employee at our startup is 23 years old. On the morning of your 24th birthday, the barcode on your employee ID stops working and you can no longer enter our building. We do this to ensure our company has a ceaseless, youthful energy. We believe old people are displeasing to look at and also, bad at ideas.
The startups I’ve worked at and with have been started by people over 30.
But I’ve talked with a number of places where I wondered if my, erm, years of experience might not have been dissuasive.
