It get's me thinking back to university, where there were a number of mature age students, most of whom were putting in much more than students on average. These people were obviously passionate, and had experiences in other industries.
Not sure who to believe here. Also not sure if it's illegal where pg is to discriminate based on age.
However it does seem that there's been a lot said about how people right out of college are the yc targets.
Might be good to explicitly state the position on age, to clear everything up. That way old hands know if it's worth applying or not.
Sounds like there a number of older people though, so I'm sure it's all good :)
Yes, you are supposed to hold a 20 year old to the same standard as a 30 year old - otherwise it's discrimination.

This argument begs the question. To discriminate is to treat different things differently. The real question is whether age discrimination is justified, and despite the negative connotations "discrimination" has picked up, that's exactly what we're arguing here.

Age discrimination isn't illegal; age discrimination by an employer against people over 40 is. Since those in question are under 40, and YC isn't employing said persons, legality doesn't weigh into things.
