You're too kind, Wayne. In Silicon Valley years, I'm geriatric.

"The problem is what it doesn't show: I bypass systems. I understand but hate rules. I do what I think needs doing, not what I’m told to do". You only get this from experience. Perhaps different for you, but I'm not surprised that the average age of first-time founders tends to be around 40 years old.

I think you're right. I also think a lot of excellent would-be founders get so beaten down by working for other people that they lose confidence in their own ability.
