Why are so many web entrepreneurs so

Why are so many web entrepreneurs so young? Because the beginner’s mind is an advantage that the young have and the old can’t easily reclaim. “The principal asset a young tech entrepreneur has is that they don’t know a lot of things. In almost every other circumstance, this would be a disadvantage, but not here, and not now. The reason this is so (and the reason smart old people can’t fake their way into this asset) has everything to do with our innate ability to cement past experience into knowledge.” Wisdom is a bitch.
