Agree or disagree on his take, the data deserves some consideration. Having started my own business young with success, I’ve been of the mindset that staring a risky venture is wiser in your youth. I’ve always told my friends to try something out while they’re young before they have all the monthly expenses of a family etc. But start small and validate the demand, and don’t quit your job because it’s funding your business. Otherwise debt can kill your runway and discourage taking further chances.
