Let me guess: most failed startups are also run by 20 and 30 year olds.

I intend to wait until I'm 87 to start my company. We all know of failed startups that were founded by 20, 30, or 40-somethings, but you almost never see a failed startup with an 80-year-old founder. I'm sure that means something.

Why not start one when you are 10?

Seriously though, I started my first one when I was 11 -- and no, it was not a lemonade stand ;). Profitable too.
