It's the kids that make the headlines, but think about it this way. Only the novel stories make the headlines. The fact that the news never talks about a 41-year-old selling his company and making it big should be encouraging- it suggests it is more common than the 23-year-old selling & making it big!

Being good looking also helps. Your startup will get more ink if you've got a pretty face.

As for me? I'm out of luck.
