Asymmetric advantage in their favor

If it sucks “they’re just 20” If it’s interesting, they’re precocious

imho if you’re using age as downside protection you’ve already lost

Seems like a bold move to me regardless if the engineers are 20 or 50 or 90.

Being really young is a good story – except that by 20, it invites comparisons to Stripe's 19-year-old founder.

Being really old is a good story – everyone likes to see someone 60+ still fighting[developing], especially because there is a pervasive fear of age discrimination here.

EDIT: I 100% guarantee that even if this project is not successful, if these fellows continue plugging away in the industry, they are going to ship something really awesome.
