The reality though is the highest growth startups were started by founders with an average age of 45. The book Wisdom at Work: The Making of a Modern Elder by Chip Conley has become a reference for those who believe that age 50 should not be the age where you begin to wind down but instead 50 should be the age when life starts to get really interesting.
