Comment on How Old Are Successful Tech Entrepreneurs?parent

Comments

Unfortunately, even some in their forties haven’t learned it yet.

I had a client around 2008-2009 (he was around 40 at the time and successfully launched several companies) who wanted a website/web app which basically was doing crowdfunding and videoconferencing (plus shared board and documents)

Yeah, I said basically and here we are getting a lot of functionality. I spare you the rest.

Needless to say after 2 years and a half of discussion and meetings and « what about we add that functionality ? », money ran dry and the whole thing never launched.

So he learnt at 42 rather than at 40! ;)
