Startups which have successfully exited - via acquisition or IPO - in the United States had founders who were over 45 years when they started the company. The overall average founder age among these companies was 46.7 years, whereas the average age of founders of startups with patents was 49.3 years. Founders of high growth startups, which have not been acquired or gone public, were on average younger than founders of successfully exited startups.
