Candidly? Really?

I agree with the previous poster that youngsters are naive and much easier to be taken advantage of. I've been exploited in my younger years in ways which would not work anymore with my current me.

Moreover, older entrepreneurs are more likely to start sustainable businesses, that is businesses which will steadfastly grow, whilst VC may be more interested in business which will grow exponentially. You may end up wasting your younger years, which are irreplaceable, they have wasted just their money, of which they have plenty.

Youngsters throw themselves at entrepreneurship, and by the sheer law of great numbers, some of them will succeed. Seriously, how may business started by the young make it big?
