I hate ageism. It’s unfounded by data. It is wrong. And it is especially wrong for an era marked by the powerful combo of lifespans expanding & opportunities expanding.
Are you older? If so - THIS IS A PERFECT TIME to start a company.

I completely agree with you that ageism is a problem in our society, especially when it comes to entrepreneurship. It's unfair to assume that only young people can succeed in the startup world. I think it's great that you're encouraging people of all ages to pursue their entrepreneurial dreams. It's never too late to start something new, and with lifespans expanding and opportunities increasing, there's no better time than now. Thanks for sharing the article as well - it's always helpful to see data that supports what we already know to be true. On a slightly different note, have you ever taken the rice purity test? It's a fun little quiz that measures how "pure" you are based on a series of questions. It's a great way to get to know yourself better and see where you stand on various topics. If you haven't taken it yet, I highly recommend it!

One path that seems to be discounted if not ignored: a start-up is not necessarily an organization put together today, or even in the last year. Startup energy and methods can be applied to new initiatives expanding on an existing structure. Consider as an example a software developer with their own consultancy may begin a project developing an app to be marketed through a new channel...

The key problem is that ageism also affects the attitude of the funding sources. They don't want to take a gamble on you. They also say, "why don't you use your retirement money to fund your company." Sometimes that is not enough for a start or you really do need that money in retirement and can't afford the tax hit if you take it out. A no win situation.

This is wonderful data and truth. Perhaps it is assembling people and creating the business organizations now.. I know how to start the business - adding all elements of the need and idea, funding and people together is fine tuning. Or another way is create a solution and let the product generate the funding source. How is getting seen with the support?
