Startups from the youngsters


Paul Graham writes that people in their 20’s should be the one’s creating the newest startups. He takes on the stereotypes that younger people don’t have enough experience and explains why it would be better for all businesses, big and small, if 2o year olds were the one’s starting companies.

    I’m 26. I better get my butt in gear. :)

    Rock… that’s exactly what I wanted to hear. I’m 24 and currently work as a .NET Engineer for a large company in North Dallas. Although I enjoy working in an area where I’m able to practice my trade, I feel unmotivated much of the time because I can’t be “creative” or push the limits of what I can do. I’ve been toying with the idea of starting a MicroISV (I already have an idea that has been well-received by my target industry), but I figured my age might be a factor. Now, after reading Mr. Graham’s article, I’m more motivated than ever to take the plunge. ;)
