A Study of 2.7 Million Startups Found the Ideal Age to Start a Business (and It's Much Older Than You Think)

• A 50-year-old startup founder is 2.2 times more likely to found a successful startup as a 30-year-old.
• A 40-year-old startup founder is 2.1 times more likely to found a successful startup as a 25-year-old.
• A 50-year-old startup founder is 2.8 times more likely to found a successful startup as a 25-year-old founder.

And if you want a really fun statistic:

• A 60-year-old startup founder is 3 times as likely to found a successful startup as a 30-year-old startup founder--and is 1.7 times as likely to found a startup that winds up in the top 0.1 percent of all companies.
