I'm 25 and got turned down by a start-up for being too old.

I suspect it was not age, but more about the desire to mold fresh college grads who never worked anywhere else before. It is easier to get employees to work long hours and adhere to their culture, if they don't know what to compare it to.

This seems like a perfectly valid excuse to name and shame that startup.

[SirZimzim]

Did they offer any rationale? Was it a bunch of high schoolers or something?

[kentbrew]

Did they put that in writing?

[SamReidHughes]

They could -- it's only illegal if you're over 40.
