“We know from Google and Yahoo that grad students can start successful startups...The accepted age for startup founders has been creeping downward. We're trying to find the lower bound.” Have you found the lower bound
@paulg?
What I've learned is that it's lower than I'm willing to look. E.g. it might be as low as 15 or 16. But since people shouldn't be starting startups at that age, I don't want to try collecting data about what happens when they do.

Speaking of payment startup, I believe from one of Jessica’s interview, she and pg met Collison brother when they were 16 and 17.

What makes you opposed to 15-16 year-olds starting startups?
-
The fact that if it’s successful it takes over your life.. so there are things you can never do. Kinda like having a kid at age 10. Also, there’s no penalty at starting a successful one at age 20.. So it seems like there’s little upside w a lot of downside
