Comment on The Jobless Ph.D. Generationparent

Investors don't want 30 year old PhDs. They want 20 year old dropouts that will work 22 hs per day. It makes economic sense.

Nonsense.

Let's look at Warp Drive Bio. They launched with $125MM in funding with three founders who are professors in their 50's[1]. All three of those founders would put most 20 year old start up founders to shame with the amount they work and how much they love what they are doing.

Clinkle's seed funding of $25MM is chump change next to these guys.
