I was most surprised by the average age of founders. Early 30s is about a decade older than the media let me to believe.

Perhaps the median age would've been a more insightful statistic.

The media glorifies youth. Always has, always will.

Even when Kevin Rose raised capital he was portrayed by Businessweek as some highschool wizkid when he was in his early 30s http://images.businessweek.com/mz/06/33/0633covdc.gif

Cameras will go to kids first, too, and older geeks are typically more private.
