Most consumer social companies fail because they raised too much money.

Stop raising money, make money from your users.

Lessons from a Canadian mum

[Marc Randolph @marcrandolph]

Who is going to be a better founder: someone 25 years old or someone 50?

It's a bit of a trick question. If I was going to bet on a first time entrepreneur, I would rather have a 25-year old first time founder than a 50-year old first time founder.

But that's usually not the choice.

The more frequent choice is do I want to bet on a 25 year old first time founder or a 50-year old who is on their fourth startup.

In that case, I'll go with the 50-year old every time.

The obvious conclusion here is that experience outweighs youth by a large margin.

I did my first startup when I was in my mid 20s and messed things up horribly. I did a bit better on my 2nd.

And a lot better on my third. And with Netflix - my 5th startup - I really had confidence that I knew what I was doing. And for Looker - #6 - and with me pushing 60, I had it pretty wired.

The most important thing here is not to let age stop you.

If you are 25 and dreaming of starting your own company — then for god's sake start one.

And if you are 50 and think you are too old? Well you are not.

Or, to borrow from an old expression, the best time to have started your first company was 35 years ago. But the second best time is now.
