Not what stereotype would lead us to believe: average age of successful entrepreneurs is 45. And older entrepreneurs also have increased variance in outcomes. Curious what accounts for the discrepancy between stereotype and these results.https://twitter.com/pierre_azoulay/status/1017052112709210113 …

Variance also increases with age. But empirically not the most extreme outliers. I.e., so big successes are more likely when older, but once-in-a-generation (MS, Amazon etc) are different.

Oops: the first sentence is based on the paper. The second sentence is my observation (about Gates, Allen, Bezos, etc...)

The bar charts are counts, it'd be more useful if the successes were weighted by returns, a proxy for notoriety/effect on culture.
