I'll echo some of the sentiments already put forth: do you actually need funding at this stage? How much do you think you will need? Have you and your co-founder thought about asking your respective parents for seed money?

I think the answer to the question at hand is really quite obvious. Yes, since you are relatively young, they will take your age into consideration. They will also take into consideration your experience, your maturity, and similarly, your ability to handle responsibilities. I'll play the skeptic and conjecture that you probably don't excel enough in all three of these traits to make up for the risk presented by your age.

If that's the case, then at this point in your start up and with all things considered, I would say the best route would be to attain seed money from family, friends, etc. and once your start up starts getting buzz or generating nice revenue, you would be in a better position to start looking for funding from larger institutions or venture capitalists.
