The article also says:

> The average age of people who founded the highest growth startups (i.e. the startups in the top 1% by growth) is 45.

So contrary to your intuition (and mine!), the average high growth startup founder, at 45, is older, not younger, than the average "startup" founder, at 42.

This is not that surprising when you think about it. These are usually serial enterpreneurs so they learned from their previous companies and can somewhat evade the mistakes that were made there. In the startup world this usually comes with bigger check sizes too, which can help you grow faster.
