I’m 38 and have a start-up. I am more focused, energetic and hard working than in my 20s, and of many I’ve met.

Most funders and programmes disregard me due to age and gender (f), that’s their loss. These stereotypes aren’t helpful, but they won’t change anytime soon and no point complaining - I’ll just keep killing it.

‘I don’t want to be a product of my environment, I want my environment to be a product of me’ - this quote from the Departed aligns with my view ;)

Stereotypes are stereotypes for a reason. They arent meant to apply to everyone. If they did, they would be called universal truths, not stereotypes.
Why speculate when there's actual data on this?
