The other day someone asked me about the success of succeeding in a startup as you grow older.
You have a 3 times better chance of succeeding in launching a business at the age of 50. You are also most likely going to live longer to enjoy it, AND Social security isn’t going to cut it!
Some examples of firms that were all started by people over 50
