Is 24 to old to be a tech start up in Silicon Valley? It seems like all of the great companies were founded when the founder was 18-21 years old. Did I miss my chance already at 24?

Also, it seems like many of the great names of Silicon Valley became so well known because of the young age at which they started these companies.

At 24 is it already to late for me to become some big well known name in tech if I am only just founding my company now?

>> No.231590

The fact that you're focusing on age instead of product tells me everything I need to know to predict your potential success and/or failure.

>> No.231594

>>231590
That's because my product is already almost ready and I am trying to figure out if I should go to silicon valley or not.

The fact that you are making such an assumption off of so little information tell me how much I should value your opinion

It doesn't matter if your product is completed, if age is what you're focusing on, that shows how little you know about business.

You'll release your software and no one will use it.

Age is not what I am focusing on it is what I am asking about in this question. Silicon Valley is know for being extremely discriminatory for age I've read of some VCs considering 26 the maximum age for entrepreneurs they will invest in.

Tell how do you know if my software will fail? What do you know of my marketing plan? What do you know of how I am running my business?

I know for a fact that Silicon Valley is extremely age discriminatory and that their idea of a young person is different from the rest of the worlds.

Yes obviously in your infinite wisdom you know better than everyone else and it is okay to just give away every product you have in development to your competitor because they can just copy it after you release it anyways.

Yes I am definitely going to take your advice.

I'm not even offering advice, I'm just laughing at some retard who comes to 4chan to ask about maximum age requirements in silicon valley, and thinks he's going to make it with his secret software.

>> No.231662

>>231655
And I'm just pointing out that you have no idea what you are talking about. It's not secret software and that fact that you think companies just give away what they are developing on internet shows how idiotic your are.

Also, the fact that you think asking about age in a place that considers 26 to be pushing it for a start up and 35-40 time to retire just shows how little you know. You don't even have to have any more than even a passing interest in technology to know that age discrimination is a hot topic in Silicon Valley there have been numerous news articles on it.

>you think companies just give away what they are developing on internet shows how idiotic your are.
I thought you said the product was almost ready. Also, the defense you're putting up confirms my assumption that don't have anything of value to offer.

Victory. Is. Mine.

>> No.231676

>>231668
Almost means not yet ready and I will definitely not take your opinion on how my game should be marketed or why I should risk my company getting linked to 4chan for you?
Having to declare your victory shows that you have no argument. You entire theory is based around "he won't tell me what I want to know" it makes you hard to take seriously. All you can do is pull assumptions out of your ass. Yo have no idea what you are talking about.

Because I said iPhone game right? And again thank you for proving you have now idea what you are talking about. If you had any idea about what you are talking about you know know that there are numerous video game companies in silicon valley and that most of them are located in redwood city.

Or do you honestly think that any area wit the most oportunity for tech start ups and already has numerous successfully game companies and thus employees to hire when expanding is a bad place for a company to move to?

>ood luck with your secret android game. I'm sure you bring something special to the table.
I never said it was an android game. I see what you issue here is. You never dared to try and start your own company so you are comforting yourself telling yourself "oh it has to just be an android game if I don't have the ambition to create something someone else can't"

"Oh he's keeping it a secret until it's time to start marketing it clearly he's keeping in secret because it isn't unique."

You are just angry.

Go ahead and keep telling yourself I am going to fail to make yourself feel better. The fact of the matter is that I have a company and a product that will be ready for marketing and then release soon while you just keep telling yourself everyone striving for success is going to fail to make yourself feel better.

Buddy, if you wont even divulge your product here, you have no chance in Silicon Valley. No one wants to invest in some whiny defensive faggot that's so insecure he wont even tell people what his product is.

>> No.231727

I'm not looking for investors I don't need them. I'm not even going there until after my first product is released you. I am going to be going there for access to employees for expansion. I want to expand into some other areas with the money from my first product and there are not the right employees around me.

Maybe you shouldn't assume thinks. I never said I was moving there for funding and I never asking for advice on my product and the one being whiny are you two crying that I won't tell you what you to know.

And if you honestly think people aren't protective of ideas in silicon valley then you are a fool. Yes people tell the people they want to invest in them about their products. You are not investors and I am not looking for investors.

hey, if your company's product is successful enough to be able to afford to purchase an office in silicon valley that's totally great. honestly that age thing only applies to super trendy next big social media shit founded by yuppies in san francisco. move more south in the bay to santa clara county and you'll see the age dramatically rise and where the people that work are actual engineers and buisnesspeople and not early twenty something 'visionaries' throwing lavish parties using venture capital money

good luck op in your venture. if the product is right, youre never too young to start.
