If you’ve recognized yourself in this pattern, then this is the first reason you should consider starting a company." Même si je sais me contenter de peux et qu'avec un bon laptop et de la passion, l'envie de coder est toujours la. La preuve : je viens de racheter un nouveau laptop à titre peso juste pour apprendre à coder en .net :) Mais quant même, la quarantaine approchant je deviens fainéant. Moin envie de coder ceetains "machins" je préfère parfois jsute faire l'architecture et suivre le développement confié à mon équipe. Je suis devenu un bourgeois !!!! ;=) Très bon post :)

Starting a business can be very rewarding, while being risky and difficult, but it's more a question of the right match between person and opportunity, then it is between age and opportunity. I hope all of you, who are "just an hour or year too late," bear that in mind ;-) Well, I just want to say that even though I’m happy that Jeremy does what he does before 25, I don’t think that this is a general rule.

You're right : entrepreneur is a state of mind. And having participated with you to the Tech It easy thing for the last few months I can tell you I have been impressed with the leadership qualities you've shown so far. This post reminds me of a Paul Graham <a href="http://paulgraham.com/mit.html" rel="nofollow">essay </a> in which he reminded us that the average age of Yahoo!, Microsoft and Google founder at the time they started was 24. Some of the reasons you mention here can also be found in that other essay from Paul : <a href="http://paulgraham.com/notnot.html" rel="nofollow">Why to not not start a startup</a>. All the best to you, Jeremy : you're in the right frame of mind and I'm sure you'll end up succeeding, with this startup or another one. Happy Birthday Jeremy and well done.

It ultimately depends upon the type of individual, and whether he or she needs to experience the limitations of corporate life first before desiring success in a entrepreneurial venture. Regards.

And that overconfidence allows VCs to actually control them better (this goes hand in hand that a you entrepreneur has less experience doing negotiations) You forgot that VCs like young people because young people tend to be more overconfident than people that have seen failure.

Not to be contradictory, but it really isn't all that hard to give up the comp car and all that jazz. I had it. I could care less about it for the fact my boss was an [insert expletive] who didn't care about ethics or social responsibility, much less his employees - and I was the right-hand-gal of the CEO for quite a few companies. Blech. Nevermind that. Happy Birthday!
