Young, hip, rebellious. That’s who starting tech-based companies.
At least that’s what I thought.
But according to a new study by Kauffman Foundation and researchers at Duke and Harvard universities, most U.S.-born technology and engineering company founders are middle-aged, well-educated and hold degrees from a wide assortment of universities.
The description paints a picture that sharply contrasts with the image of the baby-CEO or college drop-out typically associated with tech entrepreneurs.
Quite interesting.
