I am not talking about semiconductors in particular but entrepreneurship.

Hiroshi Yamauchi moved Nintendo to playing cards to electronics on its middle forties. Going to the south and taking away age, Argentina created several unicorns: Auth0, MercadoLibre, Uala, and Satellogic. Galperin studied in USA but Eugenio Pace only studied in Argentina and worked at Microsoft, part in USA. Satellogic founders don't have undegraduate degrees.

On this argument I departed from the idea about age and/or studies and/or previous connections and/or place. It is indisputable that US is the top entrepreneurial country in the world and the one with the most opportunities but to learn the entrepreneurial subject (the top topic in YC/HN) itself you can see further.

Entrepreneurship in semiconductors is its own world. Perhaps to a lesser degree, pharmaceuticals, but it’s a valid consideration that credentials and background help overcome barriers when needing to raise massive amounts of money to get started.
