I could be wrong but isn't this whole mass scale "founding" by late teen to twenty somethings a new phenomenon? Yes, Gates, Jobs etc. had founded companies in that age group but it didn't happen at this scale.
Also, I think that this is primarily restricted to Internet where it has become increasingly easy to start new companies, and people create a mobile app and call it a "startup". Telecom and Semiconductor companies are still founded by more experienced people, though I don't have age data.
I'm not sure if you meant it that way, but personally I found your comment a little condescending towards people in their forties, and I'm one of them having just crossed over the threshold.
As people in their youth have done amazing things, so have people in their mid to late years, and its more about attitude than age in my very humble opinion.
