Can you provide some links (other than chatboard comments) to substantiate this claim that "CA companies and investors require your age"?

Are you implying that YC doesn't require your age in the interview process? Have you ever even filled out the application form? Let's start with that.

From https://www.themuse.com/advice/the-muses-successful-applicat...

For each founder, please list: YC username; name; age; year of graduation....

Wow, I wouldn't have expected them to be so blatant. Not illegal, since YC is not hiring people, but, wow.
