Silicon Valley's youth obsession is making investors miss out on billions in opportunities. Here's something you might not realize: the average successful founder is 42 (the number MIT found after studying millions of companies). Experience matters. A lot. Seasoned entrepreneurs bring real advantages to the table: - They've seen market patterns before - They have strong industry relationships - They know which pitfalls to avoid - They've learned from both wins and failures Every year in your field adds to your toolbox. You develop instincts that can't be taught in any MBA program. If you've spent years mastering your craft, don't downplay it - those decades are your edge. The future needs builders with experience. Great companies start at every age. But there's something powerful about bringing years of expertise to solve important problems.

I did not know what I was getting in to about 7 years ago but it felt truly right and in line with my values. I never called my self an expert, even that I lately have been recognised for my knowledge and ways of working with the ESGs 😁 . I have also lately been told of from an expert that I have little knowledge of ESG mostly because I believe that the ESGs have to be communicated and executed form a pragmatic approach. There are many ways to solve problems 🚀 🪂 Following is a part of an article I wrote in Shipping and Freight Resource magasin to break down the ESG complexity by background history and real life impactful examples https://lnkd.in/d5zTpiKd "ESG has gained prominence in finance and corporate governance, highlighting the role companies play in addressing environmental, social, and ethical issues. However, many people outside these sectors have little insight into ESG and its impact on their lives. Even within finance and corporate circles, there is confusion. A survey by King Financial Planning found that 60% of clients, aged 20 to 80, are unaware of ESG." I want to give thanks to the person who led me to the exiting world of the ESGs and who forever keeping me updated with the pros and cons of the ESGs with so much generosity. Big thanks Robert Rubinstein I am very grateful 🙏 💪
