"venture capitalists and the tech media began to debate whether there is an optimal age for an entrepreneur to start a company .... The pundits proposed the mid-20s as the optimal age to start a company"
May I point out that this is the best age -FOR- venture capitalists to fund and -FOR- the tech media to write about but not for entrepreneurship in general. VC and the tech media focus on the same thing... businesses that are in essence experimental rocketships. Most will implode fantastically but there will always be a few that go to the moon. Thats only one form of venture - even in tech.
