QUESTION: I’ve been working on a startup business on the side and am about to quit my job and really go for it. What holds me back is I will need to raise money from investors. I’m 52. Will I get a fair hearing? Seems like investors only like to fund the college drop out.

ANSWER. I’ve got the good news that you are looking for! Yes, you will get a fair hearing from investors provided, of course, that your business concept and strategies offer more financial upside than downside to investors.

Good article, especially if you are over 50 and trying to start your own business.
