There is a new trend in Silicon Valley of bragging about how young founders are, etc. along with the rather bizarre trend of bragging about dropping out of high school to "found a startup".

Always has been.

It is a deliberate advertisement to VCs to find "the next Mark Zuckerberg" which the entire point is that there is only one.

For every 1,000+ startups there is exactly only *one* exceptional founder.

It's quite remarkable that such a loosely quantified pool of startups (1000+) yields precisely one exceptional founder.
