I’m of two minds on this trend: - “wow, great that these kids who usually have a ton of student debt get to do that!” And - “diverse teams outperform. Optimally, should we be incentivizing teams of all 21 year-olds from the same social circles to build companies?”
still of the view that 21yo founding teams are extremely unlikely to perform and that college, when not causing extreme debt, is an incredible economic mobility engine. Feels like we should split the claims of "college is too expensive" and "it is good for some people to not go"

as a 21 year old founder with only adult team members, i can safely say that if we had more 21 year olds on the team it would go extremely poorly

Maybe a contrarian view, but having the team include people in their 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s+ is a good idea. 45 is way different than 35 and that's a huge difference to 25. As an old person, I'm also motivated to say this so..
