VC Paul Graham once said that the cutoff age for entrepreneurship is 32. But older entrepreneurs might have a leg up on their younger counterparts. Via @whartonknows https://whr.tn/2LdYE3d #startups #entrepreneurship #business

I'm guessing they're referring to something I said about the age at which VCs (meaning later stage investors, not me) mistakenly start to think of founders as too old.

Love you Paul and respect you tremendously!!! It has changed since, but I had an encounter in 2013 with someone helping with YC Startup School. The application required* age. I pushed to inquire why this was even a thing. I was later told it was to filter out persons over 30.

No, there was no age cutoff.
