You already know that winning depends in no small part on hiring people better than yourself. If you are a youngish entrepreneur or boss, that will entail hiring older and more experienced people, especially in top roles for your organization.

How many YC companies subscribe to this? It seems few and far between are the company bio pages with anyone over 35.

There will be great talent in all age brackets, but, of course, younger founders will generally network with younger people. If a founder finds a great employee 20 years his or her senior, then age should hardly matter. I do understand being nervous about hiring someone who is old enough to be your parent, but maybe more columns like this will help ease that anxiety & enable founders to build better companies.
