I've just turned 50, though I've applied to YC many times before, even in my 30s.

It would be nice to know the answer to who was the oldest person, but at the same time, why does it matter?

We can't deny that ageism exists in the industry, you're not going to let that stop you from building your business, right?

Is there a benefit you get from age that younger people don't have? How are you going to leverage that to your advantage?
