Last week I blogged at Fast Company about how high-tech skills and the knowledge economy can give younger entrepreneurs an edge, despite research that shows that older people are more prolific and more successful as entrepreneurs overall. Today Nathaniel Hindman responded with a piece at Huffington Post.I'm not sure if he takes issue with my larger points, but he concludes with this:
"Whichever entrepreneurs -- young or old -- end up founding the most successful companies, if the past few decades are any indication, it's clear that a small number of innovative startups will grow into billion-dollar businesses and drive economic growth."
On that, I think we can both agree.
